An Act relative to throwing objects at motor vehicles

HD 1606 amends Massachusetts law to define and penalize throwing objects at certain vehicles or assaulting transportation workers. The bill specifically targets actions like throwing objects at motor vehicles, trains, buses (including school buses), or assaulting drivers, conductors, or operators while they are performing their duties. Offenders face penalties of up to a $1,000 fine, up to five years in prison, or both. This law directly affects individuals who commit these acts against transportation workers or vehicles, strengthening existing penalties for such dangerous behavior.
