An Act relative to successful transition and re-entry to tomorrow for incarcerated persons

This bill requires correctional facilities in Massachusetts to begin preparing incarcerated individuals for re-entry at least 120 days before their release. Specifically, it mandates that officials secure necessary documents and apply for state identification cards, prioritizing REAL ID-compliant licenses if possible, or standard licenses if full documentation cannot be obtained. The legislation also expands the types of addresses accepted for identification purposes, allowing individuals to list the home of a family member, a temporary group residence, a community institution, or a city hall address if they lack a permanent residence. Additionally, the bill defines "family member" broadly to include extended relatives and establishes a process where notices are sent to third-party address providers to allow them to object before an address is listed on an ID.
