Bill Summary

For legislation relative to dangerousness hearings. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend subsection (4) of section 58A of chapter 276 of the Massachusetts General Laws by removing the sentence that requires a dangerousness hearing to be held immediately upon the person's first appearance before the court, unless a continuance is sought by the person or the attorney for the Commonwealth. This change would provide more flexibility in scheduling the dangerousness hearing.
