AI Summary

This bill, titled "To expand intensive parole supervision," proposes to amend Chapter 27 of the general laws by adding a new section, Section 5A, which mandates that the Parole Board establish an intensive parole program for sex offenders in each region of the Commonwealth. This new program is intended to be modeled after the existing program in Middlesex County and will incorporate various elements of intensive supervision, including unannounced visits to parolees' residences, counseling services, electronic monitoring to track their whereabouts, random drug testing, and polygraph testing, all aimed at enhancing oversight and reducing recidivism for individuals on parole.
