This bill, titled "Relative to the repeal of certain archaic laws," proposes to remove several sections from the General Laws of Massachusetts, which is the compilation of the state's statutes. Specifically, it seeks to repeal Section 16A of Chapter 264, Section 34 of Chapter 265, and Sections 14, 18, 26, and 36 of Chapter 272. The purpose of this legislation, as indicated by its title and the government-provided summary, is to eliminate outdated or no longer relevant laws from the statute books, a process often undertaken by legislative bodies to keep laws current and remove redundancies.
