Establishes the Massachusetts Against Discrimination Fund to support the Commission Against Discrimination.
The bill creates the Massachusetts Against Discrimination Fund, which will be used by the Commission Against Discrimination to cover costs related to investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating claims of unlawful discrimination, as well as to assist with training efforts. The fund will be financed through voluntary contributions from taxpayers, who can designate a portion of their tax refunds or add an amount to their tax due on their state tax returns. The state treasurer will manage the fund, ensuring it earns the highest interest rate possible while remaining safe and liquid.
