Bill Summary

For legislation relative to treatment, not imprisonment. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to limit the frequency of drug and alcohol testing as a condition of pretrial release or probation for individuals with alcohol or substance use disorders. The bill requires the court to consider treatment needs and order treatment if appropriate, rather than simply imposing testing. It also specifies that positive test results or indicators of relapse should not automatically be considered violations of release or probation conditions if the individual is engaged in treatment. The overall aim is to shift the focus from punishment to treatment for individuals struggling with substance use issues.
