Bill > H2951

This bill amends existing law, specifically Section 13 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, to prohibit the display of television broadcasts or other video images on equipment located in a motor vehicle that is visible to the driver while the vehicle is in motion. The key change is that such displays are now permitted *only if* the equipment is configured so that the video is not in the operator's view while the vehicle is moving. However, this prohibition does not apply to certain types of images, including those providing navigation and traffic information, those that enhance the driver's view of the vehicle's surroundings (forward, behind, or to the sides), or those that allow the driver to monitor passengers in the rear of the vehicle. This legislation aims to improve road safety by preventing driver distraction from video content.
