Bill > H3310

This bill directs the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) to complete a comprehensive feasibility study within 90 days regarding the potential construction or leasing of a post-conviction evidence retention facility in Massachusetts. The study must examine multiple aspects of such a facility, including multi-state usage potential, proximity to existing law enforcement facilities, expansion capabilities, security and privacy considerations, geographic accessibility, infrastructure needs, potential cost savings for cities and towns, and overall benefits to the criminal justice system. To develop the study, DCAMM is required to consult with various stakeholders including the Supreme Judicial Court, bar associations, criminal defense attorneys, district attorneys, public safety officials, and municipal representatives. Upon completion, the division must submit the detailed report to key legislative leadership, including the Senate President, House Speaker, and several relevant legislative committees such as State Administration, Judiciary, and Ways and Means, providing a thorough analysis of the proposed evidence retention facility's feasibility and potential impact.
