Bill Summary

Relative to costs of appeals by certain defendants. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the General Laws of Massachusetts to require defendants who are not indigent, and therefore not entitled to public legal representation, to be responsible for their own costs on appeal, unless the Commonwealth loses the appeal or the Commonwealth's application is denied. In such cases, the defendant would be entitled to be reimbursed for the costs incurred, including reasonable attorney's fees, subject to the approval of the court.
