Bill Summary

For legislation to amend G.L. c. 221 § 27A: Obsolete or useless papers; disposition, destruction or storage. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 27A of Chapter 221 of the General Laws to allow the Supreme Judicial Court to make exceptions to the ten-year retention requirement for certain types of paperwork related to non-criminal offenses, such as motor vehicle infractions, parking violations, littering, bicycle and pedestrian laws, municipal dog control, and other non-criminal regulatory offenses. This change would give the court more flexibility in managing and disposing of records that are no longer necessary to maintain.
