What is the meaning of Section 525(b) of the New York State Code of Civil Procedure when discrimination against a plaintiff is discrimination based on an intent to file for bankruptcy?

victim of discrimination actually files a formal petition. Cf. Passantino v. Johnson & Johnson Consumer Prods., Inc., 212 F.3d 493, 506 (9th Cir.2000) (noting that discrimination may be lawful under some circumstances). It can also be read to declare that discrimination based on an intent to file for bankruptcy is unlawful in all circumstances, but that a victim of discrimination only has a federal remedy under 525(b) once he has filed a formal petition. As these three facially plausible interpretations demonstrate, the true meaning of the statute cannot be discerned with certainty from the text alone.
