Bill Summary
For legislation to authorize the filing for damages in small claims court against a public entity arising from potholes under the jurisdiction of said entity. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to allow persons to file for damages to their motor vehicle's tires, rims, or both caused by potholes on state, county, or municipal roadways in small claims court, rather than having to file a claim against the public entity under Chapter 258. This provides a more accessible and streamlined process for individuals to seek compensation for pothole-related vehicle damage.
