AI Summary

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law, specifically Chapter 6 of the General Laws concerning sex offender registration, to include provisions for "electronic aliases, addresses and domains," which are defined as any online identifiers like email addresses, website registrations, and messaging service aliases used for displaying information. The bill mandates that sex offenders must report all such electronic aliases, addresses, and domains to the authorities, and failure to do so, or to report changes or additions, will carry penalties. This update aims to modernize sex offender registration requirements to encompass online activities and presence, reflecting the digital landscape of the 21st century.
