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 in Massachusetts to expand the requirements for motor vehicle operators to remain at the scene of a collision. The key provisions are: 1) Operators must remain at the scene if they have reason to know they collided with or caused injury to any other vehicle or property, 2) Operators must remain at the scene if they have reason to know they collided with or caused injury to any person not resulting in death, and 3) The language is updated to clarify that operators "shall" remain at the scene in these situations, instead of the previous language.
