Accompanied a study order, see H5281 (under House Rule 27)
Summary
The bill amends Massachusetts General Laws to specify that a person who “invites” a child can do so by any means, such as personal contact, postal mail, telephone, instant electronic messaging, or email. This change broadens the scope of the child‑enticement statute to cover both online and offline communications. It matters because it clarifies that non‑digital outreach is also subject to the law.
