AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to modify the provisions related to probation violations. Specifically, it removes the last sentence of Section 133 of Chapter 127 and revises the third sentence of Section 3 of Chapter 279. The changes provide the court with discretion to impose either the full term of a suspended sentence or a portion of it when a probation is revoked, with the remaining balance of the suspended sentence reduced by the time served on revocation. The court also has the discretion to revise the conditions of probation if it imposes less than the full term of the suspended sentence.
