Bill > H3047

This bill, titled "Defining special regulations for vehicle specific checkpoints," amends Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section, 18B, which prohibits motor vehicle safety checkpoints that specifically target particular types of vehicles, or their decorations or adornments. This prohibition applies to checkpoints aimed at the general public using motor vehicles, as defined in Chapter 90 Section 1, but it does not apply to vehicles used as public or common carriers for people or property, nor to certain commercial vehicles like trackless trolleys, semi-trailers, tandem units, or low-speed motor vehicles used for transporting construction or commercial goods, or to vehicles exceeding specific dimensional or weight limits outlined in other sections of the law.
