Bill > H3027

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the general laws by adding a new section that prohibits the operation of commercial motor vehicles on public roads if there is an accumulation of snow or ice on the roof that is one-quarter of an inch thick or greater, with both the owner and operator being responsible for ensuring its removal before operation. Violations will result in a fine of at least $500 for offenses not causing personal injury or property damage, and $10,000 for offenses that do result in personal injury or property damage, aiming to improve motorist safety from falling snow and ice from large vehicles.
