H 1580 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the release of sex offender information to victims

This bill requires the Massachusetts Board of Parole to provide specific information about registered sex offenders directly to victims who have enrolled in victim services. Under the new provision, victims would receive details including the offender's final classification, home address, secondary address, work address, and school location upon request. The change aims to give victims clearer access to data about where offenders live and work, allowing them to better assess safety risks. It applies specifically to the state's sex offender registry system and the victim services unit within the board.
