AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 144 of Chapter 127 of the General Laws, which deals with the credit individuals receive for time spent in correctional institutions when they cannot pay fines and expenses. Currently, the law allows for a credit of thirty dollars per day. This bill seeks to increase that daily credit to sixty dollars, meaning individuals who are incarcerated for non-payment of fines will have their debt reduced at a faster rate. This change aims to provide greater financial relief to those facing incarceration due to unpaid fines.
