AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 81A, specifically Section 10, to prohibit the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, which operates toll roads and tunnels, from charging tolls to individuals who are seventy years of age or older and are driving private passenger vehicles registered in their name. To implement this exemption, the authority will be required to issue passes or stickers to eligible elderly drivers. This change aims to provide financial relief to certain senior citizens by exempting them from paying tolls on the turnpike and through the Callahan, Sumner, and Ted Williams Tunnels.
