g.l.
Droit commun


Explanation:
Since your text dealing with provisions, chapter and section, it means the law and the codes, i.e. G.L stands for "General law". Then, the right translation is: Droit commun.

disagree  Daryo: "le droit commun" étant un concept général / abstrait n'a pas de chapitres / sections etc - des lois particulières peuvent en avoir.

GL - General Laws (of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts)
Codex des lois du Commonwealth du Massachusetts


Explanation:
search on "G.L. Chapter 90, section 22" gives only results from

General Laws - Part I - Title XIV - Chapter 90 - Section 22: Suspension or revocation of certificate of registration or license

https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXIV/Ch...

"General laws" is collection of all applicable laws in the Commonwealth du Massachusetts, so it's a "codex" (/Recueil général des lois)
