Bill Summary
Modernizing the Massachusetts wiretap law
AI Summary
This bill aims to modernize the Massachusetts wiretap law by making several key changes. It removes language that previously required certain law enforcement wiretap applications to be approved by a judge, and instead allows them to be approved by a district attorney. The bill also expands the list of crimes for which wiretaps can be authorized, and extends the maximum duration of a wiretap from 15 to 30 days. These changes are intended to update the state's wiretap law to better reflect modern investigative needs and practices.
