Bill > H446

This bill, titled "Relative to the protection of juveniles," proposes amendments to Chapter 6 of the General Laws, specifically sections related to sex offender registration and notification. The core of the bill involves removing references to juveniles being adjudicated as "youthful offenders" or "delinquent juveniles" by reason of a sex offense, and also removes provisions that require notification to legal guardians or agencies having custody of juvenile sex offenders, as well as their attorneys. Essentially, the bill aims to alter how juvenile sex offenses are categorized and how notification procedures apply to juveniles within the sex offender system.
