AI Summary
This bill aims to protect election workers in Massachusetts by making it unlawful to harass, threaten, coerce, or intimidate them while they are performing their official duties, or in retaliation for their performance of those duties. The bill defines "election worker" broadly to include any person working for the state or a municipality to administer elections. It also prohibits the public dissemination of election workers' personal information, such as their home addresses or contact details, if it could lead to harassment or threats. Violations of these provisions can result in imprisonment of up to four years or a fine of up to $10,000 for a first offense, and up to ten years' imprisonment or a $25,000 fine for subsequent offenses.
