AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 6 of the state's laws to establish the second Saturday in November as "First Landing Day." This new annual commemorative day is intended to honor the Pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower and made landfall in what is now the Town of Provincetown, as well as their subsequent exploration of the surrounding areas in the Towns of Truro and Eastham. The bill also aims to honor the native peoples who inhabited Barnstable County at the time of the Pilgrims' arrival. The governor is required to issue a proclamation each year to set apart this day and recommend that it be observed by the people in an appropriate manner.
