An Act concerning the arrest without a warrant of persons on probation

This bill amends Massachusetts law to clarify who counts as a probation officer and changes how people on probation can be arrested without a warrant. It removes time limits that previously allowed holding individuals for up to 72 hours and deletes the word "temporary" from the description of these arrests. The update ensures that anyone arrested under these rules must be brought before a judge at the next available court session in their area. These changes directly affect probation officers and the individuals currently under probation supervision.
