AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate the enforcement of federal law by sheriffs and certain correctional institutions in Massachusetts. It stipulates that sheriffs and their employees can only perform functions related to federal law enforcement under an agreement described in 8 U.S.C. § 1357(g), and only if the costs of such performance, including employee compensation, are borne solely by the federal government. The bill also requires sheriffs and the commissioner of correction to maintain records of all activities under this section and report them annually to various legislative committees, with these records being considered public records.
