An Act relative to the use of video screens while operating a motor vehicle
This bill prohibits most video screens and displays in motor vehicles while driving in Massachusetts. It bans television receivers, video monitors, or entertainment-focused screens visible to the driver forward of the back seat, and adds a restriction against using mobile devices for social media or camera functions while operating a vehicle. Exceptions include navigation systems, rear-view safety monitors, government vehicle use, and factory-installed systems with interlock features that disable screens during driving tasks like steering or lane changes. The law directly affects all drivers of registered vehicles in Massachusetts, with specific exemptions for safety, navigation, and certain official vehicle uses.
