AI Summary
This bill aims to stop profiling of transgender people and low-income women by amending certain sections of the Massachusetts General Laws.

Additionally, it adds a new Section 34B to Chapter 94C, which provides immunity from prosecution for possession of controlled substances or sex work-related offenses for anyone who, in good faith, reports a crime.
