An Act relative to CORI fees

HD 1339 amends Massachusetts law to expand access to Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) requests. It allows parents, legal guardians, or custodians to request criminal record checks for childcare providers who have or may have direct contact with their children. This change specifically adds childcare providers to the list of individuals whose records can be accessed under CORI for background checks. The bill modifies existing law to clarify this expanded access but does not change CORI fees or processing procedures. It directly affects families seeking background checks on childcare providers before entrusting them with their children.
