The legislation has been proposed in connection with a state plan to be submitted under section 18 (c) (1) of said federal Act. My review of H-2422 has been in accordance with your advice that, pursuant to the requirements of 29 CFR §1902-2 (b), such a plan must be accompanied by a legal opinion of this Department. Having reviewed the draft bill, it is my opinion that there is no impedi- ment to its enactment under either the Constitution of the Commonwealth or the General Laws. Very truly yours, FRANCIS X. BELLOTTI Attorney General P.D. 12 75
