An Act to authorize firefighter motorcycle license plates

This bill (SD 441) creates a special firefighter motorcycle license plate for active and retired municipal firefighters in Massachusetts. It requires firefighters to get certification from their fire department head to qualify, and the plate can only be used on their personal motorcycles. An additional $10 fee is charged for the plate, collected by the state and paid to the Massachusetts Firefighters Academy Trust Fund. The bill directly affects firefighters who own motorcycles and provides a dedicated funding stream for firefighter training.
