H 5060 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to equitable court staffing

H 5060 amends Massachusetts General Laws to formally add "district court of Edgartown" and "district court of Nantucket" to the list of existing district courts. The bill directly affects the court operations in Edgartown and Nantucket by establishing them as official district court locations under state law. This is a procedural change that updates the statutory list of courts, with no new staffing requirements or policy changes. The bill's title ("equitable court staffing") does not reflect its actual content, as it only names court locations without altering staffing mechanisms.
