This bill amends Section 3 of chapter 185C of the General Laws, specifically altering the jurisdictional language related to housing courts. The amendments involve the removal of specific geographic references, including "arising in the city of Boston in the case of that division," as well as references to "the counties of Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire" and "the cities and towns included in the Worcester county division, northeastern division and southeastern division."

By deleting these phrases, the bill aims to streamline the jurisdictional scope of housing courts, potentially broadening their authority beyond the previously specified areas. The changes are intended to take effect immediately upon passage of the Act.
