S 1094 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to bodily autonomy and family integrity

This bill amends Massachusetts law to protect an individual's right to decide whether to undergo medical treatments or share medical information without coercion. It specifically prohibits employers from hiring or firing someone solely based on their choice to accept or refuse medical procedures. The legislation allows for legal action against violations, including reinstatement with back pay, while explicitly permitting non-invasive testing like drug screens or vision checks for safety reasons.
