Bill Summary

For legislation to provide additional assistance to victims of domestic abuse. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to provide additional assistance to victims of domestic abuse. It amends the existing Massachusetts law (Chapter 209A) to require police officers to provide written and/or verbal notice to domestic abuse victims about local domestic violence hotlines, services, and shelters with available beds. The information should be provided in a way that accommodates the victim, and translation services should be offered when possible. This is intended to ensure that victims have access to the necessary support and resources to address their situation.
