Bill > S1650

This bill, titled "Relative to bicycle safety," aims to improve bicycle visibility on the road by amending existing Massachusetts General Laws, specifically chapter 85, section 11B. The key changes involve updating the requirements for rear bicycle lighting and reflectors, stating that bicycles must now have a lamp emitting a red light visible from at least six hundred feet, and this light can be attached either to the bicycle itself or to the helmet of the rider. Additionally, the bill increases the fine for violations from twenty dollars to forty dollars, providing a clearer and more stringent penalty for non-compliance with these safety regulations.
