AI Summary
This bill seeks to facilitate access to public records in Massachusetts. It amends the state's public records law to make all records in the custody of the Secretary of State open to public inspection and available for copying after 90 years from the creation of the record. Additionally, the bill removes language from the state's vital records law that refers to children born out of wedlock, which helps to destigmatize and promote equal treatment of these records.
