HD 2443 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to license plate year of manufacture registration

This bill clarifies that restoring antique vehicle license plates to their original year of manufacture colors and design does not violate registration rules. It directly affects owners of antique automobiles who wish to restore their plates. The key provision amends existing law to explicitly state that such restorations are not considered "altering" the plates. This change ensures antique vehicle owners can legally restore plates without risking registration issues. The bill is procedural, focusing on regulatory clarification rather than new policy.
