Bill overview
This bill proposed establishing a special commission, including members of the General Court, to investigate and determine the annual costs associated with providing legal counsel to individuals undergoing sex offender classification hearings. The commission’s goal was to provide a clear understanding of these expenses, which are currently court-appointed. The bill ultimately failed to pass after being reported to the Clerk’s Office and accompanied by a study order.
