An Act establishing the Blue Star Family license plate

This bill establishes a special "Blue Star Family" license plate in Massachusetts for family members of police officers who were killed in the line of duty. The law allows parents, children, or spouses of deceased officers to receive this distinctive plate or emblem for one private passenger vehicle or motorcycle upon providing proof of the officer's death. Eligibility is determined by whether the officer's death meets the criteria for inclusion on the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, D.C. The registrar must provide these plates without charge to qualified applicants.
