AI Summary

This bill amends Section 27A of Chapter 221 of the General Laws to allow the Supreme Judicial Court to create exceptions to the ten-year retention requirement for certain types of legal documents, including those related to non-criminal violations such as motor vehicle infractions, parking, littering, bicycles, pedestrians, municipal dog control, and municipal ordinance or by-law violations. This change provides the court system with more flexibility in managing and disposing of obsolete or useless legal paperwork.
