Bill > S2903

This bill, titled "Honoring Blue Star Families," proposes to amend Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 90, Section 2, to allow the registrar of motor vehicles to issue special "Blue Star Family" registration plates or emblems at no cost. These distinctive plates or emblems will be available to the parents, children, or spouses of law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty, provided they present satisfactory evidence. The bill defines "killed in the line of duty" as being eligible for benefits under Section 100A of Chapter 32, which typically covers families of fallen public safety officers. The registrar can also issue a "Blue Star Family" registration with up to six characters for one private passenger motor vehicle owned and primarily used by these eligible family members, or a distinctive emblem for a motorcycle.
