AI Summary

This bill amends Section 11B of Chapter 85 of the Massachusetts General Laws to enhance bicycle safety requirements. Specifically, it requires bicycles to have both a red light and a reflector, rather than just one or the other. It also prohibits the sale of bicycles in the state unless they are equipped with the required lamps and reflectors. Additionally, the bill increases the fine for violating these bicycle lighting and reflector requirements from $20 to $50.
