Bill > H3793

This bill authorizes a new type of special motorcycle license plate in Massachusetts to honor fallen firefighters. Specifically, the bill allows the state's registry of motor vehicles to issue a Firefighters Memorial Motorcycle License Plate, which will be similar to the existing Firefighters Memorial License Plate for automobiles that was established in 2006. When someone purchases this special plate, they will pay a $40 fee, with $28 going to support the Massachusetts Fallen Firefighter Memorial located at Ashburton Park near the State House, and $12 covering the manufacturing costs for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MASSDOT). The memorial is managed by a non-profit charitable organization, and the plate is named the "Dave Condon Firefighter Memorial License Plate Act" after a specific individual. This legislation provides a way for motorcycle owners to show support for firefighters who have died in the line of duty while also generating funds for a statewide memorial honoring their sacrifices.
