HD 3911 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act preserve license plate actionable toll enforcement and safety

This bill prohibits covering license plates with any opaque, transparent, translucent, or tinted material. It directly affects drivers who cover their plates with such materials, making it a traffic violation. Law enforcement officers may stop vehicles with obscured plates and issue citations, as the bill defines obscured plates as an "improper and unsafe condition." The law takes effect two years after passage, requiring vehicles to display plates without any covering that obstructs visibility.
