Bill Summary

Relative to motor vehicle operators leaving the scene of a collision. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 24 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws to require motor vehicle operators to stop and remain at the scene of a collision, even if the operator has reason to know they collided with or caused injury to another vehicle, property, or person, not just in cases where they actually caused injury or damage. The bill adds language to expand the circumstances where an operator must stop and remain at the scene, even if they did not directly observe the collision or injury.
