City agencies which meet the following criteria are subject to the Commission's evaluation:•the majority of the board members are appointed by the Mayor;•the majority of the board members serve by virtue of being city officers; or•the agency is funded, in whole or in part, by the City treasury.New York City Charter Chapter 36 authorizes the EEPC to ensure compliance with the City's Human Rights Law, state and federal anti-discrimination laws, and affirmative employment programs adopted by the City in order to promote effective equal employment opportunity in City employment.
