H 923 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to Department of Conservation and Recreation facility Title IX compliance

This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to include a work timeline in its annual budget that outlines efforts to ensure equal accommodations for men and women in its facilities. The law mandates that these budget documents specifically detail the department's progress and planned actions to comply with federal Title IX regulations regarding sex equality. By adding this requirement to the state's existing statutes, the legislation aims to increase transparency and accountability for how the department addresses gender equity in its operations.
