Bill > H1781

This bill amends Section 178I of Chapter 6 of the Massachusetts General Laws to enhance victim notification rights in sex offender cases. Specifically, the legislation allows victims who have enrolled in the board's victim services unit to request and receive detailed information about a sex offender, including their final classification (which likely refers to their risk level or registration status), home address, secondary address, work address, and educational institution. By enabling victims to access this comprehensive information directly from the board, the bill aims to provide greater transparency and potential safety measures for individuals who have been victims of sexual offenses, empowering them with knowledge about the location and status of the offender who harmed them.
