§ 6. Affirmative action policy. The Speaker shall promulgate a policy with respect to affirmative action, which shall, at a minimum: (a) prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, religion, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic predisposition or carrier status, marital status or military status; (b) appoint an affirmative action officer who shall report annually to the Speaker; (c) create an affirmative action advisory committee to assist the affirmative action officer in the implementation of such policy; (d) require that the human resources office of the Assembly undertake recruitment of minority and protected-class individuals; (e) establish a process for the resolution of complaints of discrimination; and, (f) create a system by which such policy is disseminated and enforced.

Copies of the affirmative action policy promulgated hereunder shall be distributed to all members of the Assembly and Assembly staff and shall be available to the public.
