Bill Summary
Relative to the penalty for possession of controlled substances near or on school property. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law, specifically Section 32J of chapter 94C of the General Laws, which addresses penalties for controlled substance violations near school property. The key change is to replace the terms "accredited preschool" and "accredited headstart facility" with "licensed preschool" and "licensed headstart facility," respectively, in the relevant section of the law. This update reflects a shift in terminology, likely to align with current licensing standards for early childhood education facilities in Massachusetts, ensuring that the enhanced penalties for drug offenses apply to these educational settings regardless of their accreditation status.
