Bill Summary
Relative to motor vehicle inspections of safety lights on ice cream trucks. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to enhance child safety measures related to ice cream trucks. Specifically, it mandates that ice cream trucks undergo annual motor vehicle inspections, which must include a check of the vehicle's flashing amber dome light and front and rear warning lights as required by law. Failure to have these operational lights would result in a failed inspection. Additionally, any violation of the law would be considered a civil motor vehicle infraction, punishable by a $50 fine issued by a police officer with the authority to issue citations.
