Bill > H2118

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 41 of the General Laws by adding a new section, 98F, which requires police departments and college or university police forces to maintain a daily log of all responses to complaints, crimes reported, arrests, and charges. While these logs are generally to be public records, this bill specifically mandates that any entry pertaining to a handicapped individual who is significantly incapacitated, such as being wheelchair-bound, bedridden, or requiring mobility assistance, must be kept in a separate, non-public log and not disclosed to the public, thereby protecting the privacy of these individuals.
