H 1047 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to eliminating surcharges for vehicle inspection violations

This bill proposes that fines for vehicle inspection violations in Massachusetts will no longer count as moving violations when calculating insurance premiums. By amending specific sections of the state's vehicle laws, the legislation ensures that drivers do not face higher insurance costs due to these particular penalties. The change directly affects drivers who receive citations for inspection issues, shielding them from the financial impact on their auto insurance rates that typically accompanies moving violations.
