  • Federal: The U.S. Supreme Court vacates a First Circuit decision that held that a civil rights "tester" had standing to sue hotels whose websites failed to state whether they had rooms accessible to the disabled as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Court held that the case was moot because the respondent voluntarily dismissed the suit but noted the issue of standing is "very much alive." See Acheson Hotels, LLC v. Laufer, 2023 U.S. LEXIS 4657 (Dec. 5, 2023).
  • Illinois: The Illinois Supreme Court holds that biometrics of healthcare employees collected in the course of providing medical services are exempt from the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). See Mosby v. Ingalls Mem'l Hosp., 2023 IL 129081 (Nov. 30, 2023).
  • New York: The New York City Council enacts a law requiring employers to distribute and post a workers' bill of rightsbeginning on July 1, 2024. The bill of rights will be prepared by city agencies and will contain information on rights under relevant federal, state, and local laws that apply to all NYC workers, regardless of immigration status. See Y.C. Local Law No. 2023/161.
