Bill > H3674

This bill makes a series of technical amendments to Section 2 of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws, specifically expanding the existing provisions about veterans' specialty license plates to include vehicles that are leased, not just owned. In each of the 28 sections of the bill, the language is modified to add phrases like "or leased" or "or lessees" after existing references to vehicle ownership. This change effectively means that veterans who are leasing a vehicle will now be eligible for specialty license plates, just as vehicle owners were previously. The amendments are uniform across multiple lines of the existing law, ensuring consistent treatment of leased and owned vehicles for the purpose of veterans' license plate eligibility. While the changes appear procedural, they represent an important expansion of a benefit to veterans who may not own their vehicles outright but instead lease them.
