HD 1824 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the enhancement of child safety

This bill requires motor vehicles used for selling frozen desserts (like ice cream trucks) to have operational flashing amber dome lights and front/rear warning lights. Annual vehicle safety inspections must check these lights, and failure to have them working results in a failed inspection. Violating this requirement is a civil infraction punishable by a $50 fine. The bill aims to improve visibility of these vehicles in public areas, aligning with its title focused on child safety.
