Bill Summary

For legislation to address investigations of reports of abuse and neglect. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to remove the phrase "During any investigation or evaluation reported under section [reference to relevant reporting section]" from three sections of the Massachusetts General Laws: Section 42 of Chapter 19A, Section 14 of Chapter 19C, and Section 85 of Chapter 119. These sections relate to the investigation and handling of reports of abuse and neglect. The removal of this phrase suggests an intent to broaden the applicability of the relevant provisions beyond the specific context of investigations or evaluations reported under the referenced sections.
