New York Laws
Article 2 - Meaning of Terms
22 - Gender.

§ 22. Gender. Whenever words of the masculine or feminine gender
appear in any law, rule or regulation, unless the sense of the sentence
indicates otherwise, they shall be deemed to refer to persons of any
gender. This construction shall apply to gender indicative suffixes or
prefixes as well as to gender indicative words. Whenever the reference
is to a corporation, board, body, group, organization or other entity
comprising more than one person or to an assemblage of persons or to an
inanimate object the reference shall be construed to be neuter in
gender. Hereafter, in any law, rule, regulation, ordinance or
resolution, gendered terms shall not be used and gender-neutral terms,
including but not limited to "they", "them" and "theirs", shall be used
in substitution therefor and with the same force and effect; provided,
however, if such law, rule, regulation, ordinance or resolution is in
reference to a specific person, the language referring to such person
shall be gendered in accordance with the gender identity of such person.
