You may use the following points in your message:
- H. 3488 would save money, conserve resources, and bring the state in line with other states that have moved to a single plate requirement.
- H. 3488 would protect the aesthetic contours of cars and relieve vehicle owners of the burden of having to create mounting holes on original bumpers.
- H. 3488 would accommodate classic and special-interest vehicles, many of which are not originally equipped with a designated place to display a front plate.
- H. 3488 would allow greater performance and styling equipment options for automotive enthusiasts in the state and the industry supporting their hobby.
Overview: Massachusetts has introduced SAN-supported legislation (H. 3488) to allow the display of only a single, rear-mounted license plate for all passenger vehicles. Under current law vehicles must display two license plates. The bill is scheduled for a hearing in the Joint Transportation Committee on Tuesday, January 25, 2022.
