AI Summary
This bill seeks to make it unlawful to discriminate on the basis of height and weight in employment compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges. Specifically, it amends existing laws to add "height" and "weight" after the word "identity" in various sections, thereby expanding anti-discrimination protections to cover these physical characteristics. This change would apply to the state's employment discrimination law (Chapter 151B) as well as laws prohibiting discrimination in places of public accommodation (Chapter 272, Sections 92A and 98).
