Bill > H3818

This bill modifies Massachusetts state law regarding veteran license plates by allowing the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to add an emblem identifying recipients of the Air Medal. Specifically, the bill amends Section 2 of chapter 90 of the General Laws by inserting the term "Air Medal" in four different lines of the existing text where other military decorations are already mentioned. The Air Medal is a military decoration awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces who have distinguished themselves by heroic achievement or meritorious service while participating in aerial flight, and this legislative change will enable veterans who have received this honor to have their achievement visibly recognized on their license plates. By adding this provision, the bill provides a way to honor and publicly acknowledge the service of Air Medal recipients, allowing them to display their specific military achievement alongside their veteran status on their vehicle registration.
