Relative to civil liability for snow removal. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 231 of the Massachusetts General Laws to provide civil liability protection for individuals who are employed to remove snow or ice from the property of another. The bill states that such individuals shall not be liable for civil damages for injuries to persons or property arising from their acts or omissions related to the removal of snow or ice, as long as certain conditions are met, such as the passage of 36 hours with temperatures below freezing or the accumulation of 2 inches or more of new snow, sleet, or freezing rain. The liability protection does not apply if the acts or omissions constitute willful, wanton, or reckless conduct.
