SECTION 2. Section 4G of chapter 7 of the General Laws, as amended by section 10 of said chapter 19, is hereby further amended by inserting, after the first paragraph, the following paragraph:-

 

There shall be within the executive office for administration and finance, but not subject to its control, a commission to be known as the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination.

 

 

SECTION 3. Section 1 of chapter 23 of the General Laws, as appearing in section 15 of said chapter 19, is hereby amended by striking out the third sentence and inserting in place thereof the following sentence:-
