An Act relative to the use of video screens while operating a motor vehicle

This bill amends Massachusetts laws to prohibit drivers from using video screens that display entertainment or business content while operating a motor vehicle. The rule applies to any screen located in front of the driver's seat or visible to them while driving, regardless of whether the vehicle is registered in the state. However, the law includes specific exceptions for navigation systems, rear-view cameras, law enforcement equipment, and displays that help the driver see around the vehicle. Additionally, factory-installed screens with automatic shut-off features are allowed if they disable video playback during active driving tasks like steering or accelerating.
