A report of the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association (under item 0340-2100 of Section 2 of Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2024) relative to Disabled Persons Protection Commission (DPPC) active case referrals

This is not a legislative bill but a required annual report filed by the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association. The document (HD 4568) summarizes FY 2024 data on cases referred to district attorneys by the Disabled Persons Protection Commission (DPPC), tracking how many cases were open, had criminal charges filed, or were resolved. It includes statistics by county (e.g., Worcester had 174 DPPC referrals with 197 criminal charges filed) and lists the types of charges involved, such as physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, and assault. The report fulfills a budget line item requirement (0340-2100) to monitor how DPPC referrals are handled by prosecutors.
