AI Summary

This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 90 of the General Laws to limit the registrar's ability to increase individual fees by more than 2.5% in a calendar year. It also requires the registrar to offer a discount of at least 10% on registration fees for anyone registering 5 or more commercial vehicles or units, which includes various types of commercial vehicles.
