AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue special distinctive motorcycle license plates specifically for active and retired firefighters. Under the proposed legislation, firefighters who are current members of a municipal fire department or who have retired in good standing can obtain these special license plates for their personal motorcycles. To receive the plates, applicants must first obtain certification from their fire department head confirming their firefighter status. The process involves paying the standard vehicle registration fee plus an additional $10 fee, which will be directed to the Massachusetts Firefighters Academy Trust Fund. This proposed amendment to Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws creates a new Section 6D that outlines the specific requirements and process for obtaining these specialized firefighter motorcycle license plates, providing a way for firefighters to display their profession and support their professional community through their vehicle registration.
