S 2446 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act promoting motor vehicle safety

This bill amends Massachusetts law to strengthen penalties for repeat traffic offenders. It increases the minimum revocation period for habitual traffic offenders from 4 to 5 years and creates three classification levels (Level 2 and Level 3) based on offense severity and prior violations. Level 3 offenders - those convicted of DUI, reckless driving, license fraud, or multiple serious violations - face license revocation for up to life (minimum 5 years) and must complete a driver improvement course before reinstatement. The law directly affects individuals with repeated traffic violations who have not had their licenses restored for over 5 years.
