AI Summary
This bill aims to improve child safety by clarifying that law enforcement officers can share certain police reports with investigators from the Department of Children and Families. The bill amends an existing section of Massachusetts state law to explicitly state that nothing in the law shall prevent law enforcement from making such reports or communications accessible to the Department's investigators, even if the law otherwise restricts the sharing of such information.
