An Act relative to obstructed views while driving
HD 3856 (An Act relative to obstructed views while driving) amends Massachusetts law to change how minor rearview mirror decorations are enforced. It specifies that law enforcement can only address violations related to small items hanging from a rearview mirror when an officer has already stopped the driver for another traffic violation or offense. The bill directly affects drivers who display such small decorations, preventing officers from issuing citations solely for this minor issue. This amendment modifies Section 13 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, making enforcement contingent on existing stops for other violations.
