Bill > H3781

This bill modifies two sections of Massachusetts motor vehicle law to clarify registration and transfer timelines. Specifically, the bill changes the language regarding the time period for completing vehicle-related administrative tasks from calendar days to business days. In Section 1, the bill replaces the phrase "five o'clock post meridian of the seventh calendar day" with "the close of business of the tenth business day" in Chapter 90 of the General Laws, which likely pertains to vehicle registration. Similarly, in Section 2, the bill amends Chapter 90D by replacing "within ten days from the" with "prior to the close of business of the tenth business day following the", which appears to provide a more precise definition of the timeframe for completing vehicle transfer or registration processes. By specifying business days instead of calendar days, the bill potentially provides more flexibility for individuals and businesses in meeting administrative deadlines related to motor vehicle transactions.
