Bill > H1231

This bill amends Section 24 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, which pertains to motor vehicle operators leaving the scene of a collision. Specifically, it expands the circumstances under which a driver is legally obligated to remain at the scene and report an incident. The bill inserts new language that requires drivers to stay if they have "reason to know" they have collided with or caused injury to another vehicle or property, or to a person, unless that person's death results from the collision. This change aims to ensure drivers are held accountable for their actions even if they are not immediately aware of the full extent of the damage or injury caused by their collision.
