An Act to respect and protect domestic violence and sexual assault victims and survivors
This bill requires police departments, district attorneys, and other legal bodies in Massachusetts to provide statistical data on domestic violence and sexual assault reports when requested by the public. The data must include information on abuse by family or household members, with personal details removed to protect privacy. This change aims to increase transparency by ensuring these agencies respond to public requests for such statistics.
