AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent the imposition of mandatory minimum sentences based on juvenile adjudications. The bill proposes to amend two sections of Massachusetts law to explicitly state that a juvenile court adjudication shall not be used as a predicate offense that triggers a mandatory minimum sentence. This change is intended to address the potential unfairness of subjecting individuals to mandatory minimum sentences based on their juvenile criminal history.
