Bill Summary
For legislation to provide presumption of knowledge by drivers in hit and run accidents. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to remove the requirement of "knowingly" from certain sections of Massachusetts' motor vehicle laws related to hit-and-run incidents. The existing law requires drivers to "knowingly" leave the scene of an accident, but this bill proposes to remove that specific language, potentially creating a presumption of knowledge for drivers involved in such situations. The changes would apply to key provisions of Section 24 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws.
