employee protections and other related matters

This bill directs the Massachusetts Labor and Workforce Development committee to investigate three related petitions concerning employee rights and employer practices. The committee must study issues including non-disclosure agreements in discrimination claims, employer disclosure of immigration status to hide wage violations, and damages for wage act violations. The bill requires the committee to submit its findings and any proposed legislation by December 31, 2026. This is a procedural measure that authorizes an official study rather than enacting new laws directly.
