Be
it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court

Section 11 of chapter 131 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2004 Official Edition, is hereby amended by inserting after the fifth paragraph the following paragraph:-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fee shall be charged for any license issued hereunder to a veteran, as defined in clause forty-three of section 7 of chapter 4 and whose last discharge or release from the armed forces of the United States was under honorable conditions and who is a resident of the commonwealth.
