AI Summary
This bill aims to create an open-container law for marijuana in Massachusetts. It would prohibit the possession of open containers of marijuana or marijuana products, such as edibles, in the passenger area of motor vehicles, with a few exceptions. The bill amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws to define key terms like "marijuana," "edibles," and "passenger area," and establishes a civil penalty of $100 to $500 for violating the proposed law. It also strikes out subsection (d) of Section 13 in Chapter 94G of the General Laws.
