S 1175 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act prohibiting injurious operations or offering services or products that discriminate against or injure protected classes

This bill prohibits businesses and service providers from offering services or products that discriminate against or harm individuals based on protected classes (such as race, gender, religion, or disability). It directly affects commercial entities operating in public-facing services by banning discriminatory practices in their offerings. The key mechanism is a clear prohibition on "injurious operations" or discriminatory service/product provisions, requiring compliance with existing non-discrimination protections. The bill aims to prevent harm through explicit legal restrictions on discriminatory business conduct.
