AI Summary
This bill would allow individuals to file a claim in small claims court against a public entity (state, county, or municipal) for damages to their motor vehicle's tire, rim, or both caused by a pothole on a roadway under the jurisdiction of that entity. This provides an alternative legal avenue for claimants to seek compensation for pothole-related vehicle damage, rather than having to go through the regular procedures outlined in Chapter 258 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
