AI Summary

This bill aims to incentivize the use of public transportation by jurors in Massachusetts. It amends Chapter 234A of the General Laws to provide jurors who appear for service the ability to use the services of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) or any regional transit authority without incurring any monetary loss. The benefit is not issued through reimbursement from the courts or the Office of Jury Commissioner, but rather is directly provided to the jurors.
