S 2241 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act to ensure financial viability in the transportation of farm goods

This bill allows farmers and forest product harvesters in Massachusetts to pay one fee for all vehicles operating under a single farm plate registration, rather than paying separate fees for each vehicle. The single fee is calculated based on the vehicle with the largest difference between its registered weight and the weight for which the permit is issued. This change aims to reduce administrative costs and improve the financial viability of transporting farm goods.
