H 1058 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to insurance surcharges

This bill amends Massachusetts insurance laws to prevent drivers from receiving surcharges if they are caught operating a vehicle with an expired inspection sticker. By explicitly stating that this specific violation is not a surchargeable incident, the legislation aims to stop insurance companies from raising premiums for drivers solely due to this infraction. The change directly affects drivers in the state who may have previously faced higher insurance costs for this particular issue. It does not alter penalties for driving with an expired sticker, only the financial consequences related to insurance premiums.
