SD 463 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to motorcycle permit requirements

This bill (SD 463) changes motorcycle permit rules for applicants under 18 in Massachusetts. It requires them to complete an approved Motorcycle Basic Rider Course, hold a junior operator's license (or equivalent from another state), and maintain a clean driving record for one year with no alcohol/drug violations (including alternate dispositions like "continued without finding" being treated as convictions). The law directly affects underage riders seeking a motorcycle learner's permit (Class M). It aims to enhance safety by adding these specific requirements before issuing permits to minors.
