From the way I read the article, it appears to me that the vehicle registration must be renewed:

>But Massachusetts is now pointing out that kei trucks and vans don’t meet federal safety standards and recently included them on a list of vehicles that can’t be registered in the state. The state is now reconsidering that decision, leaving kei truck owners wondering whether they’ll be able to keep driving these vehicles.

>All existing unexpired registrations for Kei trucks and vans will remain active as the RMV works to review and assess industry standards related to Kei mini trucks and develop an updated policy addressing the registration of these vehicles. From: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/vehicles-that-cannot-be-re....

So depending on how registrations in MA work and if they expire, they will be pulling the rug out from under the owners.

Related, if we are worried about crash safety(ostentatiously of the operator and passengers) why does MA still allow motorcycles?
