S 2299 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to motorcycle safety

This bill updates Massachusetts state law to require motorcycle safety courses to be nationally recognized programs offered by the state's own Massachusetts Motorcycle Rider Education Program instead of the previously specified Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The legislation maintains the existing funding mechanism, where two dollars from each motorcycle registration fee are allocated to cover the costs of required training materials for these courses. By making these changes, the bill directly affects motorcycle riders in the state who must complete approved safety instruction to register their vehicles.
