On Feb. 18, 2020, the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights (DCR), Office of the Attorney General, issued a comprehensive report, entitled “Preventing and Eliminating Sexual Harassment in New Jersey—Findings and Recommendations from Three Public Hearings” (the “DCR Report”), based on information culled from a series of hearings held in September 2019. The DCR’s goal was to address the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace and places of public accommodation and housing. The DCR Report contains recommendations for legislative amendments, additional educational outreach by the DCR, and best practices.
