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 allows for a fine of up to $150 for certain disorderly conduct offenses. This bill would insert language to allow for an alternative penalty of imprisonment for not more than thirty days in a jail or house of correction, in addition to or instead of the existing fine. This change aims to provide judges with more flexibility in sentencing for these offenses.
