   Boston, Massachusetts. Provides that, if an employee or family  member      
   is  receiving  treatment  from  a  Christian  Science practitioner, an      
   employee may not object to any requirement from an employer  that  the      
   employee or family member submit to examination (though not treatment)      
   to  obtain a second or third certification from a health care provider      
   other than a Christian Science practitioner.
