Bill Summary

Relative to operating a motor vehicle under the influence of inhalants. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law, specifically Section 24 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, to expand the definition of operating a motor vehicle under the influence. Previously, the law prohibited operating a vehicle under the influence of "the vapors of glue"; this bill broadens that prohibition to include intentionally smelling or inhaling the fumes of any substance that releases toxic vapors, as defined in another section of law (section 18 of chapter 270), thereby making it illegal to drive while impaired by a wider range of inhalant substances.
