S 1555 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to chief probation officers

This bill amends Massachusetts law to remove the specific mention of chief probation officers from a list of individuals eligible for a particular legal provision. The change directly affects how probation leadership roles are referenced within the state's judicial statutes. By striking the existing text, the legislation simplifies the legal language without adding new powers or responsibilities to probation officers. The amendment does not alter the core duties of the role but updates the statutory wording to align with current legal definitions.
