AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Massachusetts laws by striking out the last sentence of Section 133 of Chapter 127 and modifying the third sentence of Section 3 of Chapter 279. The key changes are: (1) If a suspended sentence to the state prison is revoked, the full sentence must be served; (2) If a suspended sentence to the house of correction is revoked, the court has discretion to either impose the full term or a portion of the suspended sentence, with the remaining balance suspended; and (3) If the court imposes less than the full term, it also has discretion to revise the conditions of probation.
