Maddy summaryThis bill would create a new "Orange Star" license plate option for Massachusetts veterans exposed to Agent Orange during military service. The plate would be available for purchase at standard vehicle registration fees, providing a visible identifier for eligible veterans. It directly affects veterans who served in areas where Agent Orange was used, such as Vietnam, and meets a specific need for recognition within the state's vehicle registration system.
