Bill > H1835

This bill aims to further regulate solicitation from vehicles on public ways in Massachusetts. It introduces new penalties for those who solicit alms, sell merchandise, or engage in other activities on public roadways or traffic islands, including fines for the first, second, and subsequent offenses. The bill also prohibits people from persistently walking, standing, or placing signs on traffic islands, unless they are crossing the roadway, entering or exiting a vehicle, or repairing/maintaining the island. Police officers are empowered to request and order individuals to remove themselves and/or signs from traffic islands, with the ability to arrest those who fail to comply.
