SD 1025 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to nonprofit institutions of higher education

SD 1025 modifies Massachusetts law to provide immunity from civil lawsuits for nonprofit institutions of higher education regarding wage payment timing. Specifically, it adds a provision stating that starting July 1, 2024, these institutions cannot be sued for paying employees monthly instead of more frequently, as long as this payment method aligns with the law. The bill directly affects nonprofit colleges and universities in Massachusetts by shielding them from legal claims related to their monthly payroll practices. This change creates a clear legal protection for these institutions concerning wage payment schedules under the specified section of the law.
