Bill > S2561

This bill establishes a permanent Law Revision Commission to examine the commonwealth's laws and recommend reforms to address defects and outdated provisions. The commission will include representatives from the legislature, the Attorney General's office, the legal community, and other stakeholders. The bill also makes various amendments to existing laws, including repealing sections related to "common night walkers," "lewd and lascivious acts," and "sodomy." These changes aim to remove archaic and potentially discriminatory language from Massachusetts statutes.
