AN ACT updating outdated legislation

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

SECTION 1. Whereas Chapter 272, Section 99 of the General Laws is outdated, is likely unconstitutional, and has been superceded by modern technology and common custom to become largely unenforceable; and

Whereas a more effective, up to date, and constitutionally reliable version exists in current Federal statutes

Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Chapter 272, Section 99 of the General Laws is hereby repealed.
