Bill Summary

Establishing the Massachusetts pregnant workers fairness act

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.
