Massachusetts H1752 aims to protect children under three from being left unattended in motor vehicles in extreme temperatures.

Massachusetts H1752 amends the General Laws to prohibit leaving a child under three unattended in a motor vehicle in extreme temperatures. Law enforcement officers and fire fighters may enter a vehicle to remove a child in immediate danger, provided they follow specific protocols. The bill also outlines penalties for violations and immunity for those who remove children from vehicles in compliance with the law.
