Bill Summary
Relative to medical parole due to a terminal illness or permanent incapacitation. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) Chapter 127 Section 119A, which relates to medical parole for prisoners due to a terminal illness or permanent incapacitation. The key change is that it excludes prisoners convicted of first-degree murder under MGL Chapter 265 Section 1, unless the prisoner was under the age of 18 at the time of the murder, from being eligible for medical parole. The bill aims to limit the availability of medical parole for certain serious offenders while still allowing for its consideration in cases involving minors convicted of first-degree murder.
