MA S1175

Expands Massachusetts public accommodation anti-discrimination law (Chapter 272, Section 92A) to explicitly cover "businesses" and entities that "offer products or services," not just those seeking patronage

Adds prohibition against operations, products, or services that result in "discriminatory or physically injurious effects" on protected classes, including race, color, religious creed, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and ancestry

Allows claims by protected persons whether or not they actually sought access to the patronage, products, or services offered by the place of accommodation

Violations punishable by fines up to $2,500, imprisonment up to one year, or both, plus civil liability with minimum damages of $300

Declares the right to full and equal accommodations and the right to not be physically injured by operations, products, or services of public accommodations as a civil right
