An Act establishing a special commission relative to the uniformity of sex offender residency restrictions in the Commonwealth

This bill creates a special commission in Massachusetts to develop uniform rules for sex offender residency restrictions across the state. The commission will include representatives from health agencies, municipal administrators, and legislators from both the House and Senate. Its goal is to create a standardized system that complies with state court rulings, replacing the current patchwork of local regulations. The group must meet by December 2023 and submit its recommendations and draft laws by December 2024.
