Bill > H1660

This bill, titled "Relative to the safety of children in camps," aims to prevent individuals with certain sex offender designations from working or volunteering at children's camps. Specifically, it proposes to disqualify any candidate for employment or volunteer status at a camp if the sex offender registry board has assigned them a level 1, level 2, or level 3 designation. These designations are determined by the sex offender registry board under section 178K(2) of chapter 6 of the General Laws, with higher levels generally indicating a greater risk. This legislation is intended to enhance child safety by ensuring that individuals with a history of sex offenses, as categorized by the registry, are not in positions of trust at facilities serving children.
