Bill Summary
For legislation relative to regional lockup facilities. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill aims to establish regional lockup facilities within each county in Massachusetts, allowing cities and towns to become members of these facilities. The bill grants the sheriff of each county the authority to establish and administer these regional lockup facilities, which would have the same powers as individual city or town lockups. The bill also outlines the process for cities and towns to join the regional lockup system, including agreements on transportation, booking, and fees. Additionally, the bill gives police officers transporting individuals to the regional lockup facility the full authority and jurisdiction of a police officer, and it exempts member police departments from certain training requirements. Overall, the bill aims to provide a more coordinated and efficient system for holding and transporting pre-arraignment and other incarcerated individuals at the county level.
