H 4537: An Act relative to sexual harassment

H 4537, titled "An Act relative to sexual harassment," prohibits professional investors (such as banks, venture capital firms, and financial institutions) from engaging in sexual harassment during business investment transactions in Massachusetts. The law bans making sexual advances or requests for sexual favors as a condition for business deals or creating hostile work environments that interfere with employment. Individuals harmed by such conduct, or businesses that employed them as agents during the incident, may sue for damages including punitive awards, and the Attorney General can enforce the law. Claims must be filed within three years of the last incident. The bill specifically targets harassment tied to investment decisions, not general workplace harassment.
