Bill > S913

This bill establishes a permanent Law Revision Commission to examine the Commonwealth's laws, identify defects and anachronisms, and recommend needed reforms. It also repeals or amends several archaic laws, including sections related to "common night walkers," "unnatural acts," and the "abominable and detestable crime against nature." The bill modernizes the language and decriminalizes certain behaviors that are no longer considered appropriate for criminalization. Additionally, the initial terms of the Law Revision Commission members are staggered to ensure continuity of the commission's work.
