A communication from the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (see item 8100-1004 of Section 2 of Chapter 28 of the Acts of 2023) submitting a report of the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab for the second quarter of calendar year 2024

This is a procedural report submission, not a substantive bill. HD 5380 requires the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab to submit its second-quarter 2024 report to legislative committees as mandated by Chapter 28 of the 2023 Acts of Massachusetts. The report details quarterly metrics including caseloads, turnaround times, and backlog data across forensic biology, chemistry, and support sections. It does not create new laws or policies but fulfills a statutory reporting requirement for transparency.
