AI Summary

This bill amends a section of the Massachusetts General Laws to provide greater public access to statements of financial interest filed with the State Ethics Commission. Specifically, the bill requires the Commission to make these statements available for public inspection and copying, as well as provide read-only electronic copies on its website. However, the Commission is authorized to redact any personal information exempt from disclosure and to exempt the home addresses of filers from public disclosure. This legislation aims to increase transparency around the financial interests of public officials in Massachusetts.
