HD 1058 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to snow removal fines

This bill allows Massachusetts towns to enforce snow removal rules on sidewalks adjacent to private property along state highways and parkways. It requires local rules to align with existing state transportation and conservation department regulations, preventing conflicts. Municipalities can collect fines for violations but must share the revenue with state departments through a formal agreement. The change directly affects property owners in these areas and local governments responsible for enforcement.
