The bill mandates the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association (MDAA) to produce an annual report for the calendar year 2024, detailing prosecution statistics from the 11 District Attorney Offices. This report will encompass data on criminal cases, particularly focusing on drug offenses, motor vehicle offenses, and firearm offenses, and will require collaboration with district attorneys to create a standardized reporting template. The report must be submitted electronically by January 15, 2025, and will also address challenges faced by district attorneys, such as data tracking discrepancies and staffing issues, to enhance transparency and accountability in the criminal justice system.

Additionally, the bill introduces several new legal provisions related to the preparation and filing of legal documents in various court proceedings. Key insertions include the preparation and filing of opposition to Chapter 211, Section 3 petitions, position statements for post-conviction motions, motions for new trials, parole hearings, and executive clemency petitions. The bill also specifies responsibilities for handling sentencing appeals hearings and outlines the number of briefs filed in these contexts. By establishing these new requirements and reporting standards, the bill aims to improve the efficiency and clarity of legal processes within the judicial system, particularly concerning serious offenses and vulnerable populations.
