Bill > H707

This bill amends Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts law to include a new section that prohibits the operation of a motor vehicle at a speed in excess of 15 miles per hour when passing on either side of a stopped or stationary waste or recycling collection vehicle on a public way. The bill defines a "waste or recycling collection vehicle" as a garbage, waste, or recycling collection vehicle that provides curbside collection and is not fully automated. The bill outlines specific conditions that must be met for this section to apply, such as the vehicle being identifiable as a waste or recycling collection vehicle and the operator providing visual notice to approaching vehicles. The bill also establishes penalties for violations, including imprisonment and fines, as well as license suspension for subsequent violations or violations resulting in serious bodily injury to a waste or recycling collection worker.
