The bill amends Chapter 31-3 of the General Laws regarding the registration of vehicles by adding a new section, 31-3-61.1, which establishes a special registration plate for Frank M. Brown, Jr., the former fire chief of the Hopkins Hill Fire District. The new legal language specifies that the administrator of the division of motor vehicles is authorized to issue this special plate, which will feature the identification “Fire Chief Emeritus” along with a unique number. Importantly, the plate will be provided without any additional registration charge for as long as Mr. Brown desires.

This act is designed to honor Frank M. Brown, Jr. for his service as fire chief by allowing him to display a distinctive registration plate on his private passenger vehicle. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage.
