Bill Summary
Relative to child victim confidentiality. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 24C of Chapter 265 of the General Laws, which deals with child victim confidentiality, by adding a provision that extends these protections to cases involving an arrest, investigation, or complaint for assault and battery upon a child, as defined under section 13J of the same chapter. This means that information related to such offenses against children will now be kept confidential, similar to other child victim cases already covered by the law, aiming to protect the privacy and well-being of young victims during legal proceedings.
