Bill Summary
Relative to Housing Court case management in Nantucket and Duke counties. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 4 of chapter 185 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require that the Housing Court, which currently operates in various counties, must now hold at least one sitting (court session) per week in both Nantucket County and Dukes County. This change aims to improve access to the Housing Court for residents of these two specific counties by ensuring more regular and consistent court availability. By mandating weekly court sessions, the bill seeks to make judicial proceedings more convenient and accessible for individuals in these potentially underserved areas, which may have previously had limited or infrequent access to Housing Court proceedings.
