For legislation relative to fair educational practices. Education.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to prohibit discrimination in educational institutions based on a person's "special medical status," which is defined as a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act or the reception or failure to receive any medical treatment. The bill expands the existing non-discrimination protections to cover not only admission, but also continued enrollment in educational institutions. It also replaces the term "applicants for admissions" with "such persons" to broaden the scope of the protections.
