AI Summary
This bill aims to impose a penalty for commercial motor vehicle oil spills of more than 100 gallons on public roads (referred to as "ways" in the text). The bill amends Chapter 85 of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish a civil penalty of up to $25,000 for each such spill, which would be paid to the city or town where the spill occurred. The penalty would be in addition to any costs incurred by the state or local government for cleaning up the spill. The Superior Court would have jurisdiction to enforce this new provision.
