Bill Summary

Relative to the classification of arrest warrants. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws to allow for the classification of arrest warrants as either discretionary or non-discretionary. Discretionary warrants are limited to subjects who do not pose a credible risk of danger to an individual or the public, and law enforcement officers may delay or dispense with the arrest of a person subject to a discretionary warrant, provided they follow certain procedures. In contrast, law enforcement officers must arrest the subject of any warrant classified as non-discretionary.
