AI Summary
This bill amends sections of the Massachusetts General Laws related to fentanyl arrests. Specifically, it requires that individuals arrested for manufacturing, selling, or distributing fentanyl under certain sections of Chapter 94C of the General Laws be held without bail for at least 6 hours after the arrest, except by a judge in open court. It also provides that such individuals cannot be released out of court by a clerk, bail commissioner, or other authorized person, and that any person taking bail for these offenses must have access to the person's criminal record information before setting bail or imposing conditions.
