HD 1167 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to veterans' specialty license plates on leased vehicles

This bill (HD 1167) expands eligibility for veterans' specialty license plates to include vehicles leased by veterans, not just those they own. It amends multiple sections of Massachusetts General Laws (Chapter 90) by replacing "owned" or "owners" with "owned or leased" or "owners or lessees" in relevant provisions. This change directly affects veterans who lease vehicles, allowing them to display the specialty plates they previously could only use on personally owned vehicles. The bill makes a straightforward policy adjustment to align leasing arrangements with existing veteran plate eligibility rules.
