Bill overview
This bill, An Act Relative to the Move Over Law, strengthens Massachusetts’ existing ‘move over’ law to better protect emergency responders, highway maintenance crews, and vehicle recovery personnel. It expands the scope of the law to include highway maintenance and recovery vehicles, requiring drivers to move over a lane when approaching these vehicles on the side of the road. The bill also clarifies the responsibilities of drivers and increases penalties for failing to comply with the law, aiming to reduce accidents and improve safety for those working along roadways.
