An Act relative to free parking for veterans

This bill (HD 611) modifies Massachusetts parking laws to prevent cities and towns from charging fees or imposing penalties on veterans who display special veteran license plates. It amends sections of Chapter 40 and Chapter 90 to explicitly state that no penalty, fee, or violation fine may be applied for parking longer than permitted or for parking in general when a veteran's vehicle shows these designated plates. The law applies to all municipalities in Massachusetts, including Boston and Cambridge, and directly affects veterans who already hold the distinctive number plates authorized under Chapter 90, Section 2. It does not create new parking benefits but removes existing penalties for eligible veterans using their designated plates.
