Bill > S2453

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts law regarding registration plates for Purple Heart recipients by updating the provisions for obtaining distinctive license plates. Specifically, the bill requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles (the registrar) to provide special registration plates with a Purple Heart Medal image to veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart, upon submission of satisfactory evidence of their military service and decoration. The legislation ensures that the first set of these special plates will be issued to eligible veterans at no cost, while any subsequent sets of plates can be obtained by paying the standard registration fee for passenger vehicles or motorcycles. The bill clarifies and standardizes the process for Purple Heart recipients to receive recognition through their vehicle registration, making it easier for these veterans to display their service and sacrifice.
