The bill pertains to the annual reporting requirements of the Department of Youth Services (DYS) in Massachusetts, specifically regarding individuals committed to its custody as sexually dangerous persons. Under Massachusetts General Laws c. 123A, § 16, DYS is mandated to provide a report to the Legislature detailing the treatment offered to these individuals while ensuring their identities remain confidential.

In the current reporting period, DYS has indicated that there have been no individuals committed to its custody as sexually dangerous persons. This report fulfills the legal obligation to inform the Legislature about the treatment services available, even though no such cases have arisen during the specified timeframe.
