Bill > H3840

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 6, sections 167 and 168A, to expand police access to probation records. Specifically, it inserts language into section 167 to include "conditions of any person on probation" alongside existing information. Section 168A is further amended to mandate that the board responsible for criminal offender record information (CORI) must include these probation conditions, which are transmitted by the commissioner of probation. This updated information within the CORI system will then be made available to police officers upon request, without any charge. The context for this change is to provide law enforcement with more comprehensive information regarding individuals on probation.
