Bill Summary
Relative to making drug dealing subject to dangerousness hearing determinations. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts law to make drug dealing subject to dangerousness hearing determinations. Specifically, it adds to the existing law that a person can be held without bail if they are arrested and charged with violating sections 32, 32A, 32B, 32C, 32D, or 32E of Chapter 94C, which cover various drug offenses such as manufacturing, distributing, or trafficking controlled substances. This change allows the court to hold a dangerousness hearing to determine if the defendant should be held without bail pending trial for these drug-related charges.
