The proposed bill seeks to amend Section 6 of chapter 90 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to exempt certain motor vehicles from the requirement of displaying front number license plates. Specifically, the bill stipulates that if a motor vehicle is manufactured without a front number plate bracket or designated location for attachment, it will not be required to display a front license plate.
However, the bill maintains that the vehicle must still have one license plate securely attached to the rear and carry a second plate within the vehicle, which must be shown to law enforcement upon request. This change aims to accommodate vehicles that are not designed to have a front plate, thereby simplifying compliance for owners of such vehicles.
