SD 1572 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act regarding conditions of release in Superior Court

This bill modifies Massachusetts law to allow Superior Court judges to impose specific restrictions on a defendant's personal associations and conduct as a condition for their release. The key provision requires judges to order individuals to avoid all contact with alleged victims and any potential witnesses who might testify about the offense. This change aims to provide courts with clearer authority to prevent interference with the judicial process while a defendant is out on bail.
