Bill > H3105

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the General Laws to create a new section, Section 10A, which addresses the operation of motor vehicles with expired licenses. Previously, driving with an expired license was a violation of Section 10. Under this new provision, operating a motor vehicle with an expired license will no longer be a violation of Section 10. Instead, drivers with expired licenses will face civil violations with fines: a $50 fine if the license expired less than 90 days ago, and a $100 fine if the license expired 90 days or more ago. This change introduces a tiered civil penalty system for expired licenses, distinguishing between recent and older expirations.
