H 1424 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act removing barriers to justice in the workplace

This bill amends Massachusetts law to extend the time limit for filing workplace discrimination complaints from 300 days to three years. It directly affects employees who wish to report discrimination and the agencies that process these claims. By changing the deadline, the legislation gives workers more time to seek justice after experiencing unfair treatment at work. The change applies to complaints filed under Chapter 151B of the General Laws.
