Bill Summary
For legislation relative to hearses. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill, concerning hearses, proposes to add a new definition to Chapter 90 of the General Laws, which typically deals with motor vehicles. The new definition clarifies that a "hearse" is any vehicle, with or without its own motor, that is regularly used to transport deceased individuals as part of a business, even if that business isn't run by a licensed funeral director or embalmer. Following this definitional change, the bill directs the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Funeral Directors and Embalmers to create regulations that incorporate this new definition into their existing rules.
