H 4085 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act authorizing the Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue distinctive license plates for the establishment of a fund to support the arts

HD 1932 authorizes the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to issue special license plates featuring MASSCreative, Inc. The revenue from these plates would directly fund arts programs across the Commonwealth through MASSCreative, Inc., a nonprofit arts organization. The bill amends Section 2F of Chapter 90 of the General Laws to include this specific funding mechanism. This is a procedural change enabling a new revenue stream for arts support, not a new regulatory requirement.
