An Act relative to motor vehicle battery storage

This bill requires specific businesses to prominently display notices about motor vehicle batteries on their premises. It applies to holders of Class 1-3 driver's licenses, motor vehicle repair shops, junkyards/automobile graveyards, and anyone who sells or stores batteries. The key provision mandates clear public and first responder notification of battery presence, with a $250 civil penalty for non-compliance. The bill focuses solely on notification requirements, not on changing battery storage standards or safety rules.
