For legislation to prevent intimidation in all courts of the Commonwealth. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends section 13B of chapter 268 of the General Laws to prevent intimidation in all courts of the Commonwealth, not just criminal courts. Specifically, it removes the word "criminal" from various subsections to expand the law's coverage to all court proceedings, including civil and administrative proceedings. The bill also provides detailed definitions of "investigator" and "harass" to clarify the scope of the law. Additionally, it specifies that a prosecution under this section may be brought in the county where the court proceeding is being conducted or where the alleged conduct occurred.
