An Act relative to the enticement of children online
This bill amends Massachusetts law to update the definition of "invite" in the context of enticement of children online. It adds specific communication methods - such as instant messaging, email, phone calls, and postal mail - to the existing legal definition. The change directly affects how law enforcement and courts interpret and apply the enticement statute. It does not create new penalties or programs but ensures the law covers modern digital communication channels used to contact minors. (Procedural amendment; 2 sentences)
