Bill Summary

For legislation relative to injuries to law enforcement personnel by drivers under the influence of alcohol. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 24D of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws to exclude from the provisions of that section any person who caused injury to law enforcement personnel during the events that gave rise to a complaint or indictment for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. This means that the special sentencing provisions of Section 24D, which allow for alternative sentencing options in certain drunk driving cases, would not apply to individuals who injured law enforcement officers while driving under the influence.
