HD 1981 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to a commission to redetermine the definition of disabled veteran in the laws and regulations for the registry of motor vehicles

HD 1981 creates a commission to study and potentially update the legal definition of "disabled veteran" used in Massachusetts vehicle registration rules. The commission would review how the current definition applies to veterans seeking special license plates or registration benefits through the Registry of Motor Vehicles. This bill directly affects veterans who currently qualify for or may qualify for these vehicle registration benefits based on their disability status. The commission's work would determine if the definition needs adjustment, but the bill itself does not change the definition or benefits. (Note: This is a draft bill currently under review by House Counsel.)
