Bill > H2307

This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts law to increase the penalties for operating a motor vehicle while one's license is suspended or revoked. The key provisions are: 1. The bill creates new penalties for operating a vehicle recklessly or negligently while one's license is suspended or revoked, including fines up to $15,000 and prison sentences up to 10 years depending on whether the driver's actions caused injury, serious bodily injury, or death to another person. 2. The bill specifies that these enhanced penalties only apply to drivers whose licenses were suspended or revoked due to a conviction, outstanding warrant, or other reportable offenses requiring suspension for 30 days or more. 3. The bill also amends existing law to expand the list of prior offenses that can result in enhanced penalties for subsequent offenses of operating with a suspended license.
