Massachusetts S2564 repeals outdated laws and amends existing statutes to modernize language and remove obsolete references.

Massachusetts S2564 repeals several sections of the General Laws that reference outdated terms and crimes, such as "common nightwalker" and "sodomy." It also amends other sections to replace these terms with more modern language, such as "person." The bill establishes a permanent law revision commission to identify and recommend reforms for defects and anachronisms in state laws. This commission will meet at least four times annually and submit reports to relevant legislative bodies.
