An Act relative to safety glass standards
This bill amends Massachusetts law to establish stricter standards for safety glass used in motor vehicles, directly affecting vehicle owners, mechanics, and auto glass replacement businesses. It requires the state registrar to create and publish a list of approved glass types and mandates that all aftermarket replacements meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications and specific federal safety standards. Additionally, the bill prohibits the registration of any vehicle not equipped with approved safety glass and allows the registrar to suspend registration for vehicles found to have non-compliant glass until they are corrected.
