AI Summary

This bill aims to protect vulnerable adults from sexual assault committed by mandated reporters, persons in a position of trust, and providers of transportation. It introduces a new section 22D in Chapter 265 of the General Laws, making it a crime for such individuals to engage in sexual intercourse or indecent assault and battery with a vulnerable adult, even with the adult's consent. The bill also adds "sexual assault of vulnerable adults under section 22D of chapter 265" to the definition of "sex offense" in Section 178C of Chapter 6 of the General Laws, which has implications for sex offender registration and related requirements.
