An Act to create an open-container law for marijuana

This bill proposes to create an open-container law for marijuana in Massachusetts, prohibiting drivers and passengers from possessing opened marijuana products in the passenger area of a motor vehicle. The legislation defines an "opened container" as any marijuana product where the original packaging is broken or altered, and it establishes a civil penalty of between $100 and $500 for violations. The law includes specific exceptions for passengers in for-hire vehicles where the driver is separated from them and for living quarters within house coaches or trailers. Additionally, the bill removes an existing subsection from the state's cannabis regulations that previously addressed open containers.
