Bill Summary
Relative to motor vehicle parking and bicyclist traffic violation appeals. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws in Massachusetts to allow for appeals of motor vehicle parking and bicyclist traffic violation tickets to be reviewed in small claims court, rather than through the more complex judicial review process. The key provisions include capping the filing fee for such appeals at 25% of the ticket amount or $20, whichever is less, and refunding the fee if the ticket is reduced or dismissed. The bill also specifies that the principles of judicial review under Chapter 30A of the state's laws will govern the small claims court proceedings for these appeals.
