HD 5354 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to federal motor vehicle safety standards compliance

This bill directs the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to register and issue inspection stickers for vehicles 25 years or older that were originally manufactured to comply with federal safety standards, including small Japanese models known as Kei cars. It specifically defines Kei cars by their size and engine limits and requires the state agency to create a new policy for handling these imports. The law ensures that older vehicles meeting these original safety specifications can be legally driven and registered in Massachusetts.
