Bill > H2272

This bill, titled "Relative to the safety of children in camps," proposes to prohibit individuals with certain sex offender registry designations from working or volunteering at camps for children. Specifically, it amends existing law to disqualify any candidate for employment or volunteer status at a children's camp if the sex offender registry board has assigned them a level 1, level 2, or level 3 designation. These designations, as outlined in section 178K(2) of chapter 6 of the General Laws, represent different tiers of risk associated with registered sex offenders, with higher levels indicating greater concern. The Judiciary committee has reviewed this legislation, which aims to enhance child safety by preventing individuals deemed a risk from having unsupervised access to children in camp settings.
