Bill Summary

For legislation relative to prejudgment interest rates. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends sections 6B and 6C of Chapter 231 of the General Laws to change the prejudgment interest rate from a fixed 12% per annum to a rate calculated based on the weekly average 1-year constant maturity treasury yield published by the Federal Reserve for the calendar week preceding the date of the judgment. This change adjusts the prejudgment interest rate to reflect current market conditions rather than using a static rate.
