H 3413 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to community works programs

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow individuals who have violated certain motor vehicle laws to participate in community works programs as an alternative to other penalties. The key provision adds a specific option for offenders to provide services to municipalities within their county under an existing chapter of the General Laws. By modifying the list of acceptable community service activities, the legislation expands the range of non-custodial options available for motor vehicle violations.
