HAMPDEN COUNTY · PUBLIC-RECORDS TRANSPARENCY GRADE
C
13/24
Hampden County gets a C.
Massachusetts has one of the weakest public records laws in the country: 10-business-day response, no real enforcement teeth, and the legislature exempts itself entirely. CORI rules block routine criminal history release. Strong courts e-filing partially offsets.
Note: Statewide grade applies — no separate local grade yet computed for Hampden County.
