Massachusetts H3675 amends the move over law to include utility vehicles and increase penalties for violations.

Massachusetts H3675 amends the move over law by including utility vehicles in the definition of stationary emergency vehicles. It increases the fines for violations, with a fine of $250 for a first offense, $1,000 for a second offense, and $2,500 for a third or subsequent offense. If the violation results in injury, the fine can be up to $5,000 or one year in jail. The bill also mandates that the registrar of motor vehicles, in cooperation with various state departments, develop an annual public awareness campaign on distracted driving.
