(a) The City Administrator shall create and maintain the Covered State List. A state shall be added to the Covered State List when it meets the definition of a Covered State. A state shall be removed from the Covered State List where the law or laws that caused the state to meet the definition of a Covered State have been repealed or found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Covered State List shall be posted on the website of the City Administrator, and shall be reviewed and updated by the City Administrator at least semiannually.
(b) Role of the Department on the Status of Women. The Department on the Status of Women shall analyze whether a state’s law meets the definition of a Covered State. Within 30 days of the effective date of the ordinance in File No. 190658, creating this Article II of Chapter 12X, the Department on the Status of Women shall submit a recommendation to the City Administrator of states that satisfy the definition of a Covered State. If the law that caused the state to meet the definition of a Covered State is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Department on the Status of Women shall not recommend that state for inclusion on the Covered State List. The Department on the Status of Women shall thereafter review the Covered States that appear on the Covered State List on at least a semiannual basis and shall recommend to the City Administrator any states that should be added to or removed from the Covered State List.
