Bill > S1813

This bill, concerning traffic safety, amends a section of Massachusetts General Laws, chapter 90, section 18A, which deals with traffic offenses. Specifically, it changes the fines associated with repeat traffic offenses committed within a district court's jurisdiction in a calendar year. Previously, the fines were a mere one dollar for the first three offenses and two dollars for the fourth or any subsequent offense. This bill significantly increases these penalties, establishing fines of twenty-five dollars for the first offense, fifty dollars for the second offense, and seventy-five dollars for the third and all subsequent offenses within that same calendar year.
