Bill Summary

For legislation relative to the interception of wire and oral communications. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to Section 99 of Chapter 272 of the General Laws, which deals with the interception of wire and oral communications, meaning the recording of phone calls or spoken conversations. Specifically, it aims to remove the first and second paragraphs of the preamble, which likely provided a general introduction or justification for the law, and to delete the word "further" from line 20 and the phrase "in connection with organized crime as defined in the preamble" from line 66. These amendments suggest a streamlining or modification of the existing legal framework surrounding when and how such communications can be intercepted, potentially by removing specific references to organized crime as a defining factor for certain provisions.
