Bill > H2992

This bill directs the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, the official in charge of the state's vehicle registration system, to create an auction for low-number registration plates, which are often considered desirable and unique. This auction will be held annually, and the Registrar will set the rules for who can apply and how they can participate, with applicants needing to be Massachusetts residents with a valid driver's license and only allowed to apply once per year, regardless of how many vehicles they own. The bill also specifies that applicants cannot request a specific plate number, and the plates will be awarded based on the order they are listed by the Registrar, with a portion of the revenue generated from administrative fees associated with this auction being allocated for the administration of a lottery, up to $50,000.
