AI Summary

This bill authorizes the use of electronic signatures on search warrant applications in Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends the state's laws to allow the signature on a search warrant to be made by electronic signature, and it allows the application for a search warrant to be submitted through wire or electronic means, rather than requiring the applicant to appear in person. This modernizes the search warrant process and provides more flexibility for law enforcement and the courts.
