AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to allow individuals whose names have been on the Massachusetts Child Abuse and Neglect Registry for at least seven years to request a review for the purpose of expunging their individual registry record. The bill outlines the process for this review, including the factors the Commissioner or their designee must consider, such as the nature and circumstances of the substantiation, the individual's recovery from drug or alcohol dependence, and a written determination from a qualified mental health professional that the individual no longer poses an unacceptable risk of harm to others. The bill also requires the Department to provide reasonable notice to individuals on the Registry about their right to seek expungement.
