An Act relative to archaic laws

This bill establishes a permanent Law Revision Commission to identify and recommend updates to Massachusetts' outdated legal language. The commission, composed of legal experts, judges, and public officials, will review statutes, common law, and judicial decisions to eliminate archaic terms (like "common night walker" and references to "sodomy") and modernize laws. It specifically amends multiple statutes across chapters 272 and 277 by removing obsolete references (e.g., repealing Section 34 of Chapter 272 and updating Section 35 to use plain language about public exposure). The changes directly affect Massachusetts' legal code, making it more accessible and relevant to current standards. The commission must submit annual reports with specific legislative proposals to the state legislature.
