Bill > S780

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 277 of the General Laws by adding a new section, Section 62D, to clarify where someone can be prosecuted for larceny by check. Larceny by check, as defined in section 37 of chapter 266, is the crime of obtaining money, property, or services by writing a bad check. Currently, the law might be unclear about the specific location where such a crime can be tried in court. This bill clarifies that prosecution can occur in any judicial district where the bad check was written or given, or where the money, property, or services obtained through the bad check were actually received. This aims to provide more certainty in the legal process for these types of offenses.
