Bill Summary
Relative to eliminating mandatory minimum sentences related to drug offenses. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences related to drug offenses. It does this by striking out language that imposed mandatory minimum sentences for various drug-related offenses, and instead allowing the courts to impose fines up to specified amounts. The bill also makes individuals serving sentences or charged with drug offenses under Chapter 94C of the General Laws eligible for certain programs and deductions, and requires them to serve at least half of any mandatory minimum sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
