AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to modify the provisions related to probation violations. Specifically, it removes the last sentence of Section 133 of Chapter 127 and revises Section 3 of Chapter 279. The key changes are: (1) if a suspended sentence to the state prison is revoked, the full sentence shall be in effect; (2) if a suspended sentence to the house of correction is revoked, the court has discretion to impose the full term or a portion of the suspended sentence, with the remaining balance suspended and the time served on revocation deducted; and (3) if the court imposes less than the full suspended sentence, it can also revise the conditions of probation.
