Bill > H3699

This bill proposes to modify existing Massachusetts vehicle registration law by allowing the registrar of motor vehicles to authorize a distinctive registration plate that can be displayed only on the rear of a vehicle, instead of the traditional front and rear plate requirement. The bill permits the registrar to charge an additional fee of up to $50 for this specialized plate option. This change provides vehicle owners with more flexibility in their license plate display and potentially allows for collector or special interest vehicles to be registered with a single rear plate. The bill amends Section 6 of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which governs motor vehicle registration rules, and references a "distinctive registration plate" as defined under section 2F of the same chapter, though the specifics of that definition are not provided in the bill text. The proposed change represents a slight deviation from the standard two-plate registration requirement that has been typical for most vehicles in the state.
