AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require drivers to slow down to no more than 15 miles per hour when passing stopped or stationary waste or recycling collection vehicles on public roads. The bill defines a "waste or recycling collection vehicle" as a garbage, waste, or recycling collection vehicle that provides curbside collection and is not fully automated. The bill includes exceptions for vehicles on private ways, controlled access highways, and multi-lane roads, and violations can result in fines and potential jail time, with higher penalties for subsequent offenses or incidents causing serious bodily injury to a worker.
