An Act to address leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death aka Katie Brienzo's Law

This bill (SD 1329, "Katie Brienzo's Law") amends Massachusetts law to increase penalties for drivers who flee the scene of an accident resulting in death. It raises the minimum prison sentence for this offense from one year to two and one-half years, removing the previous option of jail or house of correction sentences. The law directly affects drivers convicted of leaving a fatal accident scene, increasing the mandatory prison term. The bill focuses on updating sentencing requirements within Chapter 90, Section 24 of the General Laws.
