AI Summary
This bill establishes the Massachusetts Against Discrimination Fund, a separate fund on the books of the Commonwealth that will be used by the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination to offset costs associated with its investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of claims of unlawful discrimination, as well as to assist with its training of public and private entities and individuals to prevent and remediate unlawful discrimination. The fund will be funded by voluntary check-off donations on the state's annual income tax return and from public and private sources as gifts, grants, and donations. The state treasurer will deposit the funds in a manner that secures the highest interest rate available, and the commission can expend the funds without further appropriation for the stated purposes.
