Bill Summary
For legislation to include prior convictions of operating vessels under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the offender’s motor vehicle records. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Chapter 90B, Section 24 of the Massachusetts General Laws to include prior convictions of operating a vessel (like a boat) under the influence of alcohol or drugs when determining penalties and requirements for repeat offenses of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence. This means that if someone is convicted of driving under the influence, a previous conviction for boating under the influence will be counted as an additional offense, potentially leading to stricter sentencing and other consequences, similar to how multiple drunk driving convictions are treated.
