Bill > H3679

This bill proposes a modification to Chapter 90 of Massachusetts General Laws regarding license plates for antique automobiles. Specifically, the bill allows owners of antique vehicles to use year of manufacture registration plates that have been restored to their original colors and design without considering such restoration as an alteration of the plates. This means that vintage car enthusiasts can now use historical license plates from the same era as their antique automobile, provided the plates are carefully restored to look exactly as they did during their original year of manufacture. The provision ensures that such restoration will not be viewed as tampering with or altering the registration plates, which could previously have been considered a violation of motor vehicle regulations. By adding this language to the existing law, the bill provides clarity and flexibility for collectors and classic car owners who want to maintain the authentic historical appearance of their vehicles.
