Bill > S773

This bill amends Chapter 90C of the General Laws, which deals with criminal motor vehicle citations, to clarify procedures for handling citations that allege criminal traffic violations. Specifically, it mandates that one copy of such citations must be sent to the registrar of motor vehicles and another copy to the clerk-magistrate of the district court where the violation occurred. The clerk-magistrate is required to keep a record of these citations and report their outcomes to the registrar. The bill also specifies that if an arrest is made in connection with a citation, this must be noted on the citation, and copies must be sent to both the registrar and the clerk-magistrate. These changes aim to ensure proper documentation and notification for criminal traffic offenses.
