AI Summary
This bill aims to combat misinformation about ex-offender voting rights in Massachusetts. It requires various state entities, such as courts, probation officers, parole officers, and the Office of the Commissioner of Probation, to provide written notification to individuals convicted of felonies about their voter eligibility status and voter registration information. This ensures that ex-offenders, whether sentenced to incarceration or not, are properly informed of their voting rights after their conviction.
