MA law is basically the same as what you stated for CA Mark.

California is one of those states. Class A or B commercial licenses are
required for vehicles which are classified as class A or class B vehicles,
respectively, under California law, whether the vehicles are used for
commercial purposes or not. CA also has a wider definition of class B
vehicles than federal regs do. For example, a 2.5-ton 6x6 would require a
class B CDL here.
Ironically, based on a lot of horror stories that have been hashed out on
the list, it seems that it's easier to get a lot of MVs registered here in
the People's Republic of California than in several other states.
Much like with gun laws, states make their own laws which may be more strict
than federal laws, and us poor schmoes need to tip-toe through a minefield
of often conflicting rules.
