Bill Summary

For legislation to expand whistleblower protections. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill expands whistleblower protections by amending the definition of "Employer" in Massachusetts law. The updated definition includes the Commonwealth, its agencies or political subdivisions, such as cities, towns, counties, and regional school districts, as well as any authority, commission, board, or instrumentality thereof. This change ensures that whistleblower protections apply more broadly to public sector employees who report misconduct or other issues in their workplaces.
