Bill > S1559

This bill amends Section 7c of Chapter 4 of the General Laws, which pertains to public records, by adding language that clarifies what constitutes a public record. Specifically, it inserts the phrase "including material related to any review of conduct of police officers which could result in disciplinary action" after the word "privacy" in the existing law. This means that records concerning investigations into police officer conduct, where disciplinary action is a potential outcome, will now be explicitly considered public records, making them accessible to the public.
