Bill > S2424

This bill modifies Massachusetts law regarding veteran license plates by expanding the definition of who qualifies as a veteran and eliminating the annual $20 fee for veteran-designated license plates. Specifically, the bill broadens the definition of veterans beyond the current definition to include those defined in clause Forty-third of section 7 of chapter 4, section 1 of chapter 115, or those eligible for an annuity under section 6C of chapter 115. The bill removes the previous requirement that veterans pay an additional $20 annual fee for "VETERAN" license plates, meaning veterans will now only need to pay the standard registration fee for private passenger motor vehicles and motorcycles. This change effectively makes veteran license plates free for qualifying veterans, potentially reducing the financial burden on those who have served in the military and wish to display a veteran designation on their vehicle's license plate.
