AI Summary

This bill proposes to expand the "move over law" in Massachusetts to include vehicles operated by civilians, in addition to recovery vehicles. The "move over law" requires drivers to slow down and move over when approaching certain vehicles on the side of the road, such as emergency and recovery vehicles, in order to provide safer conditions for the personnel working on those vehicles. By including civilian-operated vehicles in the law, the bill aims to enhance the safety of all vehicles and personnel on the roads in Massachusetts.
