Bill Summary
Relative to verification of sex offender registration. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the first paragraph of subsection (a) of section 178H of chapter 6 of the General Laws, which relates to the verification of sex offender registration. The key provisions of the bill are that prosecutions commenced under this section cannot be continued without a finding or dismissed unless the sex offender registry board or police department produces verified documentation that the sex offender has registered. This is intended to ensure that sex offenders are properly registered and that prosecutions for failure to register cannot be easily avoided.
