Bill > S1352

This bill creates a drug dealer registry in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The key provisions are: - It establishes a "drug trafficking registry" within the Massachusetts Bureau of Investigation to identify individuals convicted of specific drug trafficking offenses under Chapter 94C of the General Laws. - The registry will include information such as the individual's name, date of birth, photograph, offense, conviction date, and other identifying details (but not their social security number). - The registry information will be made publicly accessible through the Department of Public Safety's website. - The Bureau of Investigation must promulgate rules to ensure the accuracy of the registry and the ability to remove individuals if their conviction is reversed or their records are sealed/expunged. - The court clerks and Department of Corrections are required to provide the Bureau of Investigation with the relevant conviction information to populate the registry. - The bill provides legal immunity for government officials acting in good faith when publishing or disseminating the drug trafficking registry information. - Individuals will be removed from the registry seven years after their most recent conviction.
