A communication from the Department of Correction (see Section 119A(i) of Chapter 127 of the General Laws) submitting its fiscal year 2023 annual report on medical parole

This bill serves as a formal communication from the Department of Correction to the legislature, submitting its 2023 annual report on medical parole. The document details the department's progress and data regarding inmates who have been released or are eligible for release due to serious medical conditions. As a procedural submission, the bill does not introduce new laws or alter existing policies but simply places the report on file for public record. Its primary effect is to fulfill a statutory requirement for the department to inform the state about its medical parole activities for the fiscal year.
