AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "Political designation" in the Massachusetts General Laws. It allows a group of 500 registered voters to file a request with the Secretary of State to create a new political designation, expressed in no more than three words, which voters can choose to be registered under. However, the designation "Independent" cannot be used. The new designation will be dissolved if, after two years, there are fewer than one-quarter of one percent of the total registered voters enrolled in it. The bill takes effect upon passage.
