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

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 7 of Chapter 4 of the General Laws, which deals with public records, by adding language that clarifies what information is considered private. Specifically, it states that material related to any review of a police officer's conduct that could lead to disciplinary action is now considered private and therefore exempt from public disclosure. This change aims to protect sensitive information during internal investigations of police misconduct.
