In one of his last acts as Governor, last month Gov. Jon Corzine signed an amendment to our Law Against Discrimination to expressly include autism spectrum disorders in its definition of disability. This amendment was based on an October 8, 2009 report from the Adults with Autism Task Force. The full text of the new law is available here.
Thanks to my former law partner Gerry Resnick at Resnick & Nirenberg for the tip on this new law!
