Bill Summary

Relative to the classification of arrest warrants. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 276 of the General Laws to classify arrest warrants as either discretionary or non-discretionary. Discretionary warrants are limited to those where the subject does not pose a credible risk of danger to an individual or the public. Law enforcement officers may delay or dispense with the arrest of a person subject to a discretionary warrant, provided they give the subject written notice of the court date, document the circumstances in an incident report, and ensure the report is furnished to the court. Officers must arrest the subject of any non-discretionary warrant.
