A report of the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association (under Section 29D of Chapter 272 of the General Laws) on the age, gender identity and race of persons diverted or arraigned with the assistance of Massachusetts District Attorneys for calendar year 2025

This bill requires the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association to submit a report detailing demographic data about individuals diverted or arraigned with their assistance during calendar year 2025. The report will document the age, gender identity, and race of these individuals to provide transparency about how district attorneys handle cases involving different populations. The legislation directly affects district attorneys and the public by mandating the collection and filing of specific demographic information without altering current diversion or arraignment procedures. This is an informational measure that does not change existing laws or create new legal requirements for criminal justice processes.
