Establishes data collection and reporting standards for criminal justice agencies in Massachusetts.

The bill amends the General Laws to establish data collection and reporting standards for criminal justice agencies, including the probation service, parole board, and the executive office of public safety and security. It mandates the use of a unique statewide identification number for individuals entering the criminal justice system and requires agencies to report data on race, ethnicity, gender, age, and other relevant factors. The Justice Reinvestment Oversight Board will review compliance with these standards, and anonymized data will be made available to the public.
