AI Summary
This bill establishes the Massachusetts Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which amends the state's employment discrimination law to prohibit employers from denying reasonable accommodations for pregnancy or a related condition, unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the employer. The bill defines "reasonable accommodations" and "undue hardship," and requires employers to engage in a good-faith interactive process with employees to determine effective accommodations. The bill also mandates that employers provide written notice to employees about their rights under the law.
