Bill > S1136

This bill establishes a task force to conduct a systematic review of the laws pertaining to domestic violence reports and confidentiality. The task force will consist of representatives from various state agencies, the legislature, and the governor's office. The task force will assess the adequacy of existing laws, including Section 97D of Chapter 41 of the General Laws, identify the impact of these laws, and develop recommendations to ensure the confidentiality of domestic violence survivors without protecting perpetrators. The task force will submit a report of its findings and legislative recommendations to the legislature within 18 months of the bill's effective date and determine if subsequent reports are necessary to address this issue.
