AI Summary
This bill aims to increase the penalties for hit-and-run motor vehicle accidents in Massachusetts. Under the proposed changes, individuals convicted of hit-and-run offenses would face a minimum sentence of 6 months and up to 2.5 years in a house of correction, or 2.5 to 10 years in a state prison, as well as a fine ranging from $2,500 to $10,000.
