AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to require that the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination include representatives from the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, questioning or queer, and transgender) community. The existing law previously only required representation from women on the commission. This change aims to ensure that the commission's membership reflects the diversity of the state's population and can better address issues of discrimination faced by LGBTQ individuals.
