There have been obscene property taxes on in MA over the years for vehicles registered to MA residents which MA wouldn’t dare to impose on the tens of thousands of out-of-state resident students who attend the hundreds of colleges in Ma. It is obvious from the form below that the 183 day rule doesn’t apply as a requirement that students obtain an MA license and registration.
Apparently MA only requires that “nonresident driver” students fill out a form declaring that they have adequate insurance and some other information and display a decal:
“NONRESIDENT DRIVER STATEMENT”

Pursuant to the provisions of M.G.L c.90 § 3, as amended by chapter 46 of the acts of 2003, this form must be completed in quadruplicate by every nonresident enrolled as a student at a public or private school or college in the Commonwealth during any period beginning on September 1st of any year and ending on August 31st of the following year, who operates a motor vehicle in Massachusetts that is registered in another state or country. This applies to students commuting from out-of-state to a school in Massachusetts and students temporarily residing in Massachusetts, whether living on campus or not. This completed form must be filed with the Police department in the city or town where the school is located. The Police department must provide a copy to the school, the local assessor, and the RMV. The school will issue the required decal, which must be affixed to the uppermost center portion of the windshield. The penalty for a nonresident’s failure to comply as required is up to $200.00.”
and when they begin that?
Stop posting phony excuses for your president!
