Bill Summary

Relative to Purple Heart registration plates. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts law regarding registration plates for Purple Heart recipients by updating the provisions for issuing distinctive license plates. Specifically, the bill requires the state registrar to provide Purple Heart Medal-themed registration plates to veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart medal, with the first set of such plates to be issued at no cost to the eligible veteran. For any subsequent sets of these special plates, the registrar may charge the standard registration fee for passenger vehicles or motorcycles. The bill defines eligible veterans as those meeting the definition in a specific existing legal clause, and requires veterans to provide evidence of their Purple Heart award to the registrar. This change aims to provide a distinctive recognition for Purple Heart recipients by allowing them to display a special license plate that honors their military service and sacrifice.
