Bill > H1047

This bill amends Chapter 175, Section 113B of the Massachusetts General Laws to exclude certain surchargeable incidents from being counted towards the registrar's ability to suspend a driver's license or require the driver to complete a driver education program. The excluded incidents include: operating a vehicle without a horn, failure to display an inspection sticker, operating a vehicle without an inspection sticker, operating a vehicle with improper lights, operating a vehicle without proper mirrors and reflectors, operating a vehicle without rear lights, and operating a vehicle with tires that do not meet the minimum tread depth requirements. This bill aims to provide relief to drivers who have incurred these types of minor infractions, which do not necessarily indicate unsafe driving behavior.
