Bill Summary

Relative to speedy trials for certain elderly persons. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) to change the age threshold for elderly individuals to qualify for speedy trials from 65 years old to 75 years old. Specifically, it modifies Section 59F of Chapter 231, Title II, Part III of the MGL by replacing the word "sixty-five" with "seventy-five" in the section title and in two instances within the existing text. This change aims to extend the speedy trial provisions to a broader population of elderly individuals.
