Bill > H2960

This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Chapter 90, Section 2, which deals with motor vehicle registration. The key provision is to authorize the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to issue special license plates, bearing the words "LEGION OF MERIT RECIPIENT," to veterans who have been awarded the Legion of Merit, a prestigious military decoration. These plates would be provided without charge for one private passenger motor vehicle or a motorcycle owned and primarily used by the recipient. Additionally, the surviving spouse of a deceased Legion of Merit recipient would be allowed to keep these distinctive plates or an emblem for their motorcycle, provided they pay the standard registration fee plus an additional twenty dollars annually, until they remarry or cancel the registration.
