I couldnt find this scenario in any searches, apologies if its been covered.
I maintain (pay rent/have utilities in my name) 2 separate residences. One here, one out of state. I spend more time out of state, so thats where my D/L is
I called the FRB and they advised me that as long as the city I reside in MA excepts my out of state d/l and utility bills here and grants me a LTC, thats good enough for the state.
Moreover, the person I spoke to told me they have NH full time residents who own businesses here who have resident LTCs.
HOWEVER, GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXIV/Chapter90/Section31~2
states:
Section 31/2. (a) Any person claiming to be a nonresident for purposes of section 3, shall be deemed to be a resident of the commonwealth during any period in which such person:
...
(12) obtained any benefit, exemption, deduction, entitlement, license, permit or privilege by claiming principal residence in the commonwealth; or
This section says you could be subject to criminal prosecution, or alternatively, violation of this section may be disposed of as a civil motor vehicle infraction.
Now "claiming principal residence" is the operative words.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
It appears the RMV / General Laws (motor vehicles, etc) is at odds with LTC laws.
