AI Summary

This bill aims to improve protections related to domestic violence. It amends the definition of "abuse" in existing Massachusetts law to include "coercive control" and "technological abuse." Coercive control refers to a pattern of threatening, humiliating, or intimidating actions used to harm, punish, or frighten an individual, such as isolating them from support, controlling their activities and finances, and making threats. Technological abuse involves using technology, such as the internet, social media, or location tracking, to harm, threaten, or monitor another person. The bill also amends a section of the criminal code to reference additional domestic violence-related offenses.
