Bill Summary
Relative to the use of tinted license plate covers. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 6 of Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws to prohibit the use of any colored glass, plastic, bracket, holder, mounting, frame, or other covering on license plates that obscures or alters the plate's appearance. Specifically, the bill bans any covering that would interfere with seeing the license plate number, plate color, the state of registration, or registration expiration details. This means that drivers cannot use tinted covers, frames, or other accessories that might make a license plate difficult to read or partially hide its important identifying information. The goal appears to be ensuring that law enforcement and other officials can clearly view and identify vehicle registration details at all times, which could be important for traffic enforcement, toll collection, and other administrative purposes.
