AI Summary

This bill, concerning the disposition of court records, makes several changes to Section 27A of Chapter 221, which likely outlines the rules for how court documents are handled and stored. Specifically, it removes clause (1) from this section, and then renumbers subsequent clauses from (2) to (1) and (3) to (2), effectively reorganizing the existing provisions. Additionally, the bill removes language that required an order from a standing justice of a district court for certain actions related to court records, simplifying the process for district courts. The preamble declares this an emergency law, meaning it is intended to take effect immediately for the public's convenience.
