For legislation to expand confidentiality protections to certain sexual assault counselors. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill expands confidentiality protections to include licensed mental health counselors in addition to sexual assault counselors. The existing law, Chapter 233 Section 20J of the General Laws of Massachusetts, is being amended to include "licensed mental health counselor" after the term "worker" in line 10, thereby extending the same confidentiality safeguards that apply to sexual assault counselors to licensed mental health counselors as well.
