An Act increasing penalties for certain violent acts

This bill amends Massachusetts law (Chapter 265, Section 15D) to increase maximum prison sentences for certain violent crimes. It raises the maximum penalty for one offense from 5 years to 10 years and for another from 10 years to 15 years. The change directly affects individuals convicted under these specific sections of the criminal code. The law makes no new definitions or procedures - only adjusts the maximum possible sentences for these offenses.
