Changes to Massachusetts Law

Currently, there are several major changes that are being considered in the legislature. These include:

  • A law that could affect and include the distribution of information about level two former sex offenders on the Internet. This is currently reserved for level three sex offenders only.
  • A law that could require level two and three former sex offenders to register at the police station within two days of release from custody.
  • Expanded information sharing between the SORB and other government agencies.
  • Reclassification by the SORB based on new information generally defined as “relevant to a determination of a risk of re-offense or degree of dangerousness.”
  • The establishment of a commission to develop evidence-based standards for the assessment and management of sex offenders.
