AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 25 of Chapter 279 of the General Laws, which deals with habitual offenders, by striking subsection (b) and replacing it with new language. The core change is that an individual would now be considered a habitual offender if they have been convicted two times previously of one or more of a specific list of serious offenses, which include various forms of assault and battery, offenses involving firearms, and other crimes against children and property. These offenses are detailed by their specific section numbers within Chapters 265, 266, and 272 of the General Laws.
