Governor Cuomo today unveiled the 4th proposal of his 2020
State of the State agenda; closing the rape intoxication loophole. Current Law
does not adequately protect victims of sexual offenses who could not consent to
sexual activity due to voluntary intoxication.
Under current law, a person is deemed incapable of consent when he or
she is mentally incapacitated, but it states mental incapacitation occurs when
a person involuntarily ingests drugs or alcohol. The exclusion of
incapacitation due to the voluntary ingestion of drugs or alcohol limits the
ability to fully prosecute sexual assaults.

General Letitia James 16 State Attorneys General are urging the U.S. Department
of Labor not to adopt its proposal which reverses federal overtime protections
for workers. Under the proposed rule,
over 8 million workers, including over 600,000 workers in New York, would lose
overtime protections. The proposed
rule would change the white-collar exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards

for an employer to classify an employee as exempt, the employee must be paid a
fixed salary, be paid a minimum specified salary and Have a job with duties
that are executive, administrative, or professional in nature.
