Bill Summary

For legislation relative to certain proceedings relating to corporations. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to Massachusetts General Laws concerning proceedings related to corporations, primarily by removing references to the "supreme judicial" court and in some instances, replacing them with "superior" court. Specifically, it amends sections of chapters 155, 156, and 156B of the General Laws, which deal with various corporate matters. The "supreme judicial" court is the highest court in Massachusetts, while the "superior" court is a trial court of general jurisdiction. These amendments appear to be shifting certain types of corporate legal proceedings from the state's highest court to a lower trial court.
