Bill > S2684

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to establish confidentiality protections for information provided by emergency service providers (such as law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel) to certified emergency service providers or licensed mental health professionals during crisis intervention services. The bill specifies certain exceptions where this confidentiality does not apply, such as if the provider has reasonable cause to believe the emergency service provider is a threat to themselves or others, has engaged in criminal conduct, or has waived confidentiality. The bill also requires certified emergency service providers to provide documentation of their certification to their employer and maintain annual proof of registration.
