Bill Summary

Relative to the display of motor vehicle number plates. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow vehicles to display only one number plate at the rear of the vehicle, and permits the vehicle owner to attach a "decorative plate" (a plate not issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles) to the front of the vehicle. The bill removes the requirement for vehicles to display a number plate at the front, and allows owners to return the front plate to the Registry if they choose to only display the rear plate.
