AI Summary
This bill aims to provide increased protections from harassment and discrimination on the basis of height. It amends various sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to include "height" as a protected characteristic, alongside existing protections for factors such as race, religion, and sexual orientation. The bill expands the definition of "hate crimes" to include those motivated by height prejudice, and it requires the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination to adopt rules and regulations to further the purposes of the new height-based protections.
