SD 340 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to safety glass standards

This bill establishes safety glass standards for motor vehicle windshields and windows. It requires the state motor vehicle agency to maintain a list of approved safety glass products and adopt regulations ensuring aftermarket replacements meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer standards and federal safety rules (like ANSI Z26.1 and FMVSS 205). Vehicles must be equipped with approved safety glass to receive or maintain registration, with non-compliant vehicles facing registration suspension until corrected. The bill directly affects vehicle owners, repair shops performing glass replacements, and the state agency overseeing vehicle registrations.
