An Act reducing the storage of obsolete papers

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow the Supreme Judicial Court to exempt specific types of non-criminal court records from a mandatory ten-year retention requirement. The provisions specifically target documents related to motor vehicle civil infractions, parking violations, littering, bicycle and pedestrian offenses, dog control, and other municipal ordinance violations. By permitting the court to make exceptions for these categories, the legislation aims to reduce the amount of obsolete paper documents stored in court facilities.
