AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Registry of Motor Vehicles to develop, design, and implement a redesigned license plate system for motor vehicles in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The new plate system would incorporate technology and design features to increase the illumination and visual recognition of the plates, including the use of commonly recognizable symbols with corresponding alphanumeric references, and the utilization of specialized symbols that can be purchased for a fee. The bill also establishes a Registration Plate Design and Implementation Board to oversee the design and implementation of the new plate system, and creates a special fund to facilitate the implementation of the license plate program and distribute funds to specific charitable programs. The bill requires the Registrar to consult with relevant agencies and organizations and report on the feasibility of the new plate system within six months, after which the bill's primary provisions would take effect.
