AI Summary
This bill, titled "Promoting gender equity," seeks to amend existing Massachusetts General Laws to promote gender equity by changing specific language within two sections of law. In Section 1 of chapter 123A, which deals with the treatment of individuals, the phrase "of the opposite sex" will be replaced with "in a sexual manner" in line 77. Similarly, Section 2 amends Section 53 of chapter 272, also replacing the phrase "of the opposite sex" with "in a sexual manner" in line 3. These changes aim to remove gender-specific language and adopt more inclusive terminology related to sexual conduct within these legal provisions.
