The bill mandates the Massachusetts Department of Correction to provide an annual report on Medical Parole, as required by MGL Chapter 127, Section 119A. This report, which is to be submitted to various legislative bodies, includes data on the number of incarcerated individuals who petitioned for and were granted Medical Parole, as well as demographic information such as race and ethnicity. The report covers the fiscal year from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and highlights that a total of 101 individuals were granted Medical Parole during this period, with specific counts provided for different counties and demographic groups.

Additionally, the report outlines the nature of illnesses that led to applications for Medical Parole, including a range of medical conditions such as pulmonary diseases, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, and cancer. It also notes that some applicants had co-morbidities, which are multiple medical conditions occurring simultaneously. Furthermore, the report details the reasons for denial of Medical Parole, indicating that 29 individuals were denied due to not meeting the criteria for terminal illness or permanent incapacitation, which would ensure they do not pose a risk to public safety.
