Bill Summary
Relative to the parameters for protective custody. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 111B of the General Laws, which deals with public health, by expanding the definition of substances that can lead to protective custody. Previously, protective custody could be initiated due to intoxication from "intoxicating liquor," but this bill inserts language to include "drugs and/or substance that cause the individual to become" incapacitated, thereby broadening the scope of conditions that warrant protective custody to encompass a wider range of substance-induced impairments.
