AI Summary

This bill aims to reform the judicial system in Massachusetts by amending Chapter 43B, Rule 66 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The key provisions include striking out paragraphs (b) through (f) of the existing law to ensure that justice is guaranteed for all, regardless of race, religion, gender, or whether someone is proceeding without an attorney (pro se). The bill also states that any rule governing receivers that does not incorporate the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 66 or expands upon those provisions is invalid. The goal is to bring the Massachusetts General Laws into conformity with the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights by guaranteeing individuals' right to defend themselves and their property in the Massachusetts court system.
