An Act relative to the head injury treatment services trust fund
This bill amends Massachusetts state laws to direct specific fines and assessments from DUI-related cases into the Head Injury Treatment Services Trust Fund. It increases the fine for a first-time DUI offense by $50 and raises the assessment fee for convicted or pleaded-guilty individuals from $50 to $100. Additionally, the legislation requires that 75 percent of fines collected in various DUI scenarios be deposited into the trust fund, while the entire $100 assessment fee goes directly to the fund. These changes primarily affect individuals charged with driving under the influence and the state judicial system responsible for collecting those penalties. The funds collected are intended to support services for victims of head injuries.
