Bill Summary

Relative to holding habitual, violent offenders responsible for simultaneous crimes. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends sections of Massachusetts law to remove the requirement that crimes committed by habitual, violent offenders must have occurred at different times and from separate incidents in order for the offender to be held responsible for all the crimes. The bill eliminates language that limits the application of enhanced penalties to cases where the second offense occurred after the first conviction. The purpose of the bill is to hold habitual, violent offenders accountable for all their simultaneous crimes, rather than only those that occurred at separate times.
