Bill Summary

Relative to bicycle fines. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to update the penalties for bicycle-related traffic violations in Massachusetts. Specifically, it proposes amending state law to set the fine for bicycle violations to be the same as the penalty a motor vehicle driver would receive for the same infraction, rather than the current fixed fine of $20. This change would standardize the consequences for similar traffic offenses, regardless of the mode of transportation.
