Bill Summary

For legislation relative to driving under the influence of toxic vapors. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to expand the definition of driving under the influence (DUI) to include being under the influence of toxic vapors, as defined in Section 18 of Chapter 270 of the General Laws. Specifically, the bill replaces the language "the vapors of glue" with "while under the influence from smelling or inhaling the fumes of any substance having the property of releasing toxic vapors" in the DUI statute. This change broadens the scope of the law to cover a wider range of substances that can impair a person's ability to operate a vehicle safely.
