Bill Summary

For legislation relative to amending public records law. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend a section of the General Laws related to public records, specifically chapter 66 section 10(a). The key change is the insertion of the phrase "unless such person has filed a petition pursuant to section (b)" after the word "search" in line 7 of that section. This means that if someone has filed a petition under section (b) of the law, the usual process of searching for public records might not apply in the same way. The context here is about how public records are accessed and the procedures involved, and this amendment introduces a condition that could alter those procedures for individuals who have initiated a formal petition process.
