MA H1936

Amends Chapter 90, Section 23 to create new penalties for reckless or negligent driving by persons with suspended/revoked licenses or who are ineligible for licensure, specifically targeting non-administrative suspensions (those resulting from convictions or offenses requiring 30+ day suspensions)

Establishes tiered penalties based on harm caused: injury not resulting in death (up to 2½ years imprisonment and/or $1,000 fine), serious bodily injury (up to 5 years state prison and/or $3,000 fine), and death (up to 10 years state prison and/or $5,000 fine)

Increases penalties for repeat offenders with prior violations of Sections 10 or 23 of Chapter 90, including mandatory minimum sentences of 1 year for serious bodily injury cases, 2 years for first-offense deaths, and 5-15 years for repeat offenders causing death

Prohibits suspended sentences, probation, parole, furlough, or good conduct deductions until minimum sentences are served; bars continuances without a finding and placement on file; excludes Section 87 of Chapter 276 (first offense disposition) from applying

Requires license revocation upon conviction: 60 days to 1 year for injury offenses, 2 years for serious bodily injury, and 15 years to life for death offenses; grants District Court jurisdiction over the new serious bodily injury and death offenses
