Bill Summary
Relative to gender parity on public boards and commissions. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure gender parity on public boards and commissions in Massachusetts. It requires that the composition of appointed public boards and commissions broadly reflect the general public, including at least 50% women members. The bill also states that the racial and ethnic composition of each board and commission should reflect the percentage of racial and ethnic minorities in the general population, when practicable. Additionally, the Commission Against Discrimination is required to collect and release demographic data on applicants, nominees, and appointed members of these public boards and commissions, while protecting individual privacy.
