Bill > H2867

This bill amends Chapter 31 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a clarifying provision to Section 75 regarding civil service employees' interactions with law enforcement. Specifically, the bill states that civil service employees cannot provide information to or cooperate with law enforcement authorities if doing so would violate Section 11I½ of Chapter 12. This means that civil service employees are prohibited from sharing information with law enforcement in a way that would conflict with existing legal protections, likely to safeguard individual privacy rights or prevent potential misuse of personal information. The bill appears to reinforce existing legal boundaries around information sharing between civil service workers and law enforcement agencies, ensuring that employees follow specific legal guidelines when responding to law enforcement inquiries.
