Bill > S2445

This bill modifies two sections of Massachusetts law related to motorcycle safety education by updating references to the motorcycle awareness program. Specifically, the bill changes language in Chapters 71 and 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws to replace "Motorcycle Safety Foundation" with "Massachusetts Motorcycle Rider Education Program" and add the qualifier "nationally recognized" before "motorcycle awareness program". The bill also removes provisions that previously mandated two dollars from each motorcycle registration fee be used to fund materials for the motorcycle awareness program module. These changes suggest a shift in how motorcycle safety instruction is defined and potentially funded in the state, likely aiming to localize and standardize motorcycle rider education while removing a specific fee allocation mechanism. The modifications appear to be technical in nature, updating terminology and funding references related to motorcycle safety education programs.
