Governor Cuomo signed a measure to expand anti-discrimination laws to apply to public school children Thursday. Public school students had been exempted from the law under a 2012 court decision. The new rules, approved by lawmakers earlier this year, would allow the state’s Division of Human Rights to investigate allegations of bullying, harassment or other forms of discrimination.
