Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the crime of arson. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 63 of Chapter 277 of the General Laws, which deals with the crime of arson, by adding references to specific sections within Chapter 266 of the General Laws. Specifically, it inserts the words "or sections 1, 2, 5, 5A and 10 of chapter 266" after "Chapter 265" in line 16 of the existing law. This change likely aims to broaden the scope of arson-related offenses that can be prosecuted or addressed under the provisions of Chapter 277, by explicitly including violations of these particular sections of Chapter 266, which presumably outline different types or degrees of arson.
