Massachusetts H2056 delays bail for fentanyl-related arrests to ensure safety.
Massachusetts H2056, also known as Tatiana's Law, modifies bail procedures for individuals arrested for fentanyl-related offenses. It mandates that those arrested for manufacturing, selling, or distributing fentanyl, or related violations, cannot be admitted to bail within six hours of arrest unless a judge approves it in open court. Additionally, the release must be handled by a judge, not a clerk or bail commissioner. Bail authorities must have immediate access to criminal records and incident reports before setting bail or modifying existing bail conditions.
