Bill Summary

Relative to Gold Star Family motor vehicle registration eligibility. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 2 of Chapter 90, which deals with motor vehicle registration, to allow the next of kin of a military member who has received a Gold Star Lapel Button, as defined by the United States Secretary of Defense, to obtain a special "Gold Star Family" registration plate. The registrar will accept proof of approval and possession of this button, issued by the U.S. Department of Defense, as sufficient evidence of eligibility for this designation, which honors families who have lost a loved one in military service.
