AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure the ability to prosecute repeat operating under the influence (OUI) offenses. It amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow for the admission of prior OUI convictions in court, even if those convictions have been sealed under Section 100A of Chapter 276. This provision overrides the general rule that sealed records are not admissible, allowing prosecutors to use past OUI convictions as evidence in repeat offense cases.
