AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to Section 178L of Chapter 6 of the General Laws, which deals with the classification of sex offenders. Specifically, it aims to expedite the process by reducing the timeframe for submitting information from 60 days to 90 days before a sex offender's release or parole, and also mandates that sex offenders must submit any information at least 30 days prior to their release or parole. The bill also shortens the period for a hearing from 20 days to 15 days before release or parole, while still requiring the board to make every effort to hold the hearing before the offender is released or paroled.
