Bill Summary

Relative to distinctive registration plates for firefighters. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to create distinctive registration plates for active, retired, and immediate family members of firefighters killed in the line of duty. The plates would display a Maltese cross to indicate the firefighter status. Applicants must be certified by their fire department chief, and a $20 fee would be charged in addition to the standard registration fee, with the proceeds split between the Massachusetts Firefighters Academy Trust Fund and the Massachusetts Fallen Firefighter Memorial Trust Fund. Additionally, the bill authorizes active firefighters driving these vehicles to travel on state highways during a state of emergency, even if driving is otherwise banned.
