AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the collection, accuracy, and public availability of arrest data in Massachusetts. It requires the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS) to obtain arrest data consistent with the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) from various law enforcement agencies, including the Massachusetts State Police, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Police, and municipal law enforcement authorities. The DCJIS must then transmit this data to the Massachusetts Office of Information Technology on a quarterly basis. The bill also mandates the creation of a public page on the Commonwealth's official website, accessible through the Massachusetts Open Data Portal, that will display the arrest data reported by Massachusetts law enforcement agencies as part of the NIBRS program.
