AI Summary
This bill, also known as Katie's Law, updates the definition of leaving the scene of an accident in Massachusetts. It creates a rebuttable presumption that a defendant knowingly left the scene of an accident if they failed to make a reasonable investigation, including safely stopping to determine if a collision occurred. This change aims to address situations where a driver may have been unaware that they were involved in an accident and left the scene without realizing it, by requiring them to make a reasonable effort to investigate the situation before leaving.
