AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to require the disclosure of law enforcement and correction officer misconduct investigation records, as well as records related to the use of force against incarcerated individuals. Specifically, it exempts these types of records from the state's public records law exemption for personnel and medical files that could constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. The bill also grants incarcerated individuals and their representatives the right to obtain copies of records related to any use of force incident involving the incarcerated person, with personal identifying information redacted before providing the records to other requestors.
