Bill > S1880

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Chapter 90, Section 2F, which pertains to distinctive license plates. The key changes involve reducing the number of distinctive license plates that can be issued. Previously, the law allowed for 1,500 distinctive license plates, but this bill lowers that threshold to 750. Additionally, it changes the number of distinct types of distinctive license plates that can be offered from 2 to 5. To assess the consequences of these changes, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles is required to produce an impact report within one year of the act's implementation, detailing its effects on the registry's finances, the number of plates issued, software costs, and any other related financial impacts or savings, and this report must be filed with legislative clerks and committee chairs by January 15, 2017. The provisions of this bill will become effective 180 days after its passage.
