Bill > H1539

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 6 of the 2012 General Laws by adding a new section, Section 174A, which will allow for interstate criminal offender record information to be made available to employers or agencies for individuals who work with or volunteer in health and human services, or who have contact with children. This means that if someone has a criminal record in another state, that information can be accessed by their employer or the organization they volunteer for if their role involves working with vulnerable populations, ensuring greater safety and accountability.
