Amendment #42 to H4135

protecting victims of dangerous crimes

Mrs. Sullivan-Almeida of Abington moves to amend the bill by adding the following section:

"SECTION 136. Section 58A of said chapter 276, as appearing in the 2020 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking from subsection (1) provided, however, that the commonwealth may not move for an order of detention under this section based on possession of a large capacity feeding device without simultaneous possession of a large capacity weapon; or arrested and charged with a violation of section 10G of said chapter 269.

And replacing it with “The commonwealth may move, based on dangerousness, for an order of pretrial detention or release on conditions when a person has been charged with violation of section 131N of chapter 140 or subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), (h), (j) or (m) of section 10 or section 11C of chapter 269;"
