An Act ensuring the enforcement of mandatory minimums for firearm related crimes

This bill amends Massachusetts law to ensure judges enforce mandatory minimum sentences for firearm-related crimes. It removes judicial immunity from judges who fail to impose required minimum sentences or who grant bail to individuals accused of these offenses. Under the new provisions, judges could face civil lawsuits and be held financially responsible for damages caused by the offender after their release. The measure directly affects sentencing judges and bail officials by creating personal liability for their decisions regarding firearm cases.
