Bill would create Massachusetts Fallen Firefighter memorial motorcycle license plate
Summary
A bill filed Jan. 15 would authorize a special motorcycle license plate to fund the Massachusetts Fallen Firefighter Memorial, allocating $28 of the $40 special-plate fee to the memorial and $12 to the state transportation agency.
House Representatives Steven Ultrino of Malden and Vanna Howard of Lowell filed a bill Jan. 15 to authorize a Massachusetts Fallen Firefighter Memorial motorcycle license plate and to direct most of the fee revenue to the statewide memorial. The bill was filed in the House as House No. 3793 and is listed on the House docket as No. 1896.
The bill would add Section 6D to Chapter 90 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Under the proposed language, the registrar would “upon payment of the fee as required in section 33, furnish a special distinctive Firefighters Memorial Motorcycle License Plate for use on privately owned motorcycles,” with the plate designed to be comparable to the Firefighters Memorial automobile plate established in 2006.
The proposal specifies how the $40 special-plate fee would be allocated: $28 to support the Massachusetts Fallen Firefighter Memorial and $12 to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation for manufacturing the plate. The memorial is described in the bill as the Statewide Memorial located at Ashburton Park at the Massachusetts State House and coordinated by the Massachusetts Fallen Firefighter Memorial charitable, described in the bill as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation in accordance with section 2f(c).
The bill also gives the act a short title: the Dave Condon Firefighter Memorial License Plate Act.
The filing is a legislative introduction; the text of the bill directs the registrar to furnish the plate if the statutory language becomes law. The bill as filed does not include a recorded vote or an enacted status in the provided document. The cover text includes the committee reference line “Transportation,” indicating the bill is associated with that committee for further consideration.
House No. 3793 was presented by Representatives Steven Ultrino and Vanna Howard and filed on Jan. 15, 2025. Next steps in the legislative process are not specified in the bill text provided here.
