Bill Summary
Relative to civil liability for snow removal. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts state law to provide civil liability protection for individuals who are hired to remove snow or ice from a property. Specifically, the bill states that such individuals will not be liable for civil damages arising from their snow or ice removal efforts, as long as at least 36 hours have passed since the removal and the temperature has been below freezing for at least 12 hours during that time, or at least 2 inches of new snow, sleet, or freezing rain has accumulated. This liability protection does not apply in cases of willful, wanton, or reckless conduct by the snow removal worker.
