An Act relative to defacing property

This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly include urine as a prohibited substance when defacing property. Currently, the statute criminalizes defacing real or personal property with tar or other corrosive substances, and this change adds urine to that list. The amendment directly affects individuals who might use urine to damage walls, fences, or other structures, subjecting them to the same penalties as those who use corrosive chemicals. By clarifying the types of substances covered, the legislation ensures that this specific form of vandalism is treated as a criminal offense under existing property damage laws.
