Bill Summary
Relative to the criminal penalty for certain disorderly persons and disturbers of the peace. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 53 of Chapter 272 of the General Laws, which deals with disorderly persons and disturbers of the peace, by adding a new penalty option. Currently, the law, as amended in 2009, allows for a fine of up to $150 for certain offenses. This bill would insert language allowing for an additional penalty of "not more than thirty days in a jail or house of correction," meaning individuals convicted of these offenses could face jail time in addition to or instead of a fine. This change aims to provide more severe consequences for those found guilty of being disorderly persons or disturbing the peace.
