Maddy summaryThis bill defines "truck-trailer unit" as a motor vehicle with at least three axles paired with a trailer having at least two axles (e.g., dump trucks). It amends a section of the General Laws to include "truck-trailer unit" in legal vehicle classifications alongside existing terms like "semi-trailer unit." The bill is procedural and does not impose new emission limits or operational requirements. It solely updates terminology for future regulatory or enforcement purposes.
