H 1858 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to PFML hearing decisions

This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Family and Medical Leave to publish all hearing decisions on its official website. The law mandates that any personal information, such as names, dates of birth, children's names, or medical details, must be redacted to protect privacy. By making these decisions public while removing sensitive data, the legislation aims to increase transparency in the appeals process for employees and employers without exposing individual identities.
