Relative to the issuance of electronic license plates by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to allow the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to issue alternative devices, such as stickers or tabs, in place of traditional license plates. The bill establishes a pilot program to evaluate these alternatives, which must be approved by the Massachusetts State Police and provided at no cost to the state. The pilot program is limited to no more than 0.5% of registered vehicles and must be completed within 12 months. Participation in the pilot is voluntary for vehicle owners. The RMV is prohibited from receiving or retaining any information related to the movement, location, or use of vehicles participating in the pilot. Within 18 months of the pilot's formation, the RMV must submit a report to the legislature evaluating the cost-effectiveness and features of the alternatives tested, including any security measures to protect against unauthorized access to vehicle data.
