A communication from the Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association (see Section 6A of Chapter 124 of the General Laws) submitting its operational capacity report for January 1 to June 30, 2025

This is a procedural bill (not a substantive law) requiring the Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association to submit its operational capacity report for January 1-June 30, 2025, as mandated under Section 6A of Chapter 124 of the General Laws. It directly affects the Sheriffs’ Association, which must provide detailed data on prison bed occupancy, facility usage, and staffing for state correctional facilities. The bill itself does not change policy but formalizes the submission of an existing reporting requirement. The attached spreadsheet details facility capacity and occupancy rates for multiple correctional units, but the legislative action is solely the submission process.
