Procedure

(1) On an annual basis, or as necessary to satisfy the purpose of 111 CMR 11.00, MCB will send to each Local Assessor’s Office in the Commonwealth a Certified List of the Register of only those Registrants residing in the specified city or town. MCB will provide the Certified List of the Register to the Local Assessor’s Office for the exclusive purpose of verifying the legal blindness requirement pursuant to M.G.L. c. 59, § 5(37) and (37A) and M.G.L. c. 60A, § 1. The Commissioner of MCB may issue guidance setting forth the procedure for providing the Certified List of the Register to Local Assessors’ Offices. (2) The Certified List of the Register will conspicuously state: (b) The MCB Certified List of the Register can be used only by the Local Assessor’s Office for the purpose of verifying the legal blindness requirement of M.G.L. c. 59, § 5(37) and (37A) and M.G.L. c. 60A, § 1; (b) The Certified List of the Register is confidential and not a public record pursuant to M.G.L. c. 6, § 135; and (c) The Certified List of the Register must be destroyed after its use in a manner that will ensure the confidentiality of the Registrant’s information and is in accordance with M.G.L. c. 66A. (3) Any Registrant who notifies MCB in writing that they do not want their name and address sent to their Local Assessor’s Office will not be included on the list. The Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designee shall establish procedures enabling each Registrant, or the Registrant’s duly authorized representative, to provide written notice to MCB to omit the Registrant’s name from the Certified List of the Register, add the Registrant’s information back into the Certified List of the Register, or change the Registrant’s name or address. (4) MCB shall not disclose information from its Register except as described in 111 CMR 11.00 or as otherwise permitted by law.
