Bill overview
This bill, H.2645, proposed a requirement for sex offenders currently registered in Massachusetts to submit a current color photograph to the state’s registry. The goal was to enhance public safety by providing law enforcement and the public with a more up-to-date visual identification of registered sex offenders. Despite initial passage in the Senate and House, the bill ultimately failed to become law due to committee discharge and subsequent actions. Similar legislation has been proposed in the past.
