Bill > H1607

This bill aims to provide increased protections from harassment and discrimination on the basis of height. It amends various sections of Massachusetts law to include "height" alongside other protected characteristics like race, religion, and sexual orientation. The changes span definitions of "hate crime," anti-bullying policies in schools, non-discrimination provisions in education and employment, and prohibitions on photographing or videotaping people with disabilities without consent. The bill also requires the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination to adopt regulations to implement these new protections.
