AI Summary

This bill requires each executive department and agency in Massachusetts to develop and adhere to a plan to address the nondiscrimination provisions outlined in a previous act (Chapter 199 of the Acts of 2016). The plan must apply to all personnel, including volunteers, interns, and contracted vendors, and must include procedures for reporting, investigating, and responding to discrimination or retaliation, as well as strategies for protecting whistleblowers and providing counseling or referrals. The bill also mandates that these nondiscrimination plans be submitted to several legislative committees and state agencies by January 1, 2020.
