Bill Summary
Relative to employment discrimination. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) law in several ways. First, it requires MCAD policies to undergo a 90-day public review period before being adopted. Second, it allows complainants or respondents in certain employment discrimination cases to elect judicial determination of their complaints, rather than having them heard by MCAD. Third, it establishes a $250 filing fee for MCAD complaints, which can be waived or refunded in certain circumstances. The bill also outlines new procedures for MCAD's investigation and adjudication of complaints, including time limits, discovery, summary judgment, and default provisions.
