HD 3345 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act to increase safety on public ways

This bill requires law enforcement to tow and impound vehicles operated by incapacitated individuals on public ways for 12 hours. It directly affects drivers who are found operating vehicles while incapacitated (as defined in related law). The vehicle must remain impounded for 12 hours from the time of towing, and the operator must pay all towing, storage, and maintenance costs when retrieving it. The law aims to remove potentially unsafe vehicles from public roads by imposing a short-term impoundment with clear cost responsibility on the operator.
