This bill aims to promote gender equity by amending existing laws. Specifically, it removes the phrase "of the opposite sex" and replaces it with "in a sexual manner" in two sections of the General Laws. This change appears to be intended to broaden the language and make it more inclusive, potentially addressing issues of gender identity and sexual orientation.
