Bill Summary

For legislation relative to housing court jurisdiction. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the jurisdiction of the housing court in Massachusetts. Specifically, it removes the geographical restrictions on the jurisdiction of the housing court, allowing it to hear cases across the entire state, rather than being limited to certain counties and cities as it was previously. The bill does this by striking out the language that limited the housing court's jurisdiction to specific regions. Finally, the bill states that the changes will take effect upon passage.
