Bill > H3810

This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws by prohibiting "low-boy automobile transporters" and "automobile transporters" from loading or unloading vehicles for delivery to dealers on public ways within the commonwealth. Specifically, the law adds a new subsection to Chapter 90, Section 22b that explicitly forbids these types of vehicle carriers from performing loading or unloading activities on public roads. If a transporter violates this provision, they could face serious consequences, including revocation of their common carrier permit issued under Chapter 159b, Section 4, and their operational certificates issued under Chapter 159b, Section 3. The bill aims to regulate and potentially restrict the practices of vehicle transporters by preventing them from conducting business directly on public streets, which may be intended to reduce traffic disruption, safety concerns, or other logistical issues related to vehicle delivery operations.
