Bill Summary

For legislation relative to justice for rape victims. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 63 of Chapter 277 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. It inserts the figure "22" after "13L" in line 4, strikes the word "sections" and replaces it with "section" in line 13, and removes the figure "22" from line 13. These changes appear to be related to the statute of limitations for certain offenses, potentially expanding the time period within which rape victims can seek justice.
