Relative to making votes of the Parole Board public. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 130 of chapter 127 of the General Laws to require that the Parole Board's decisions include the individual vote of each board member, making these votes public information. The Parole Board is a body responsible for deciding whether inmates are eligible for release from prison. Previously, only the final decision was publicly available, but this change ensures transparency by revealing how each member voted on a particular case.
