An Act relative to motorcycle safety
This bill updates Massachusetts motorcycle safety education requirements. It replaces references to the "Motorcycle Safety Foundation" program with the "Massachusetts Motorcycle Rider Education Program" and adds "nationally recognized" to describe the required awareness program. The bill also modifies funding language to clarify that motorcycle registration fees will support materials for this program. These changes directly affect motorcycle safety education providers and riders in Massachusetts, updating the designated program and its funding source without altering safety content.
