Bill Summary
Relative to making October 25th Dwarfism awareness day in the Commonwealth. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to designate October 25th as Dwarfism Awareness Day in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The bill provides some context, explaining that the Little People of America (LPA) was founded in 1957 and has over 30,000 members with dwarfism. The Commonwealth recognizes that people with dwarfism may face uncomfortable situations and seeks to promote better understanding and respect for individuals of short stature. The bill states that the Commonwealth wishes for everyone, regardless of differences, to be afforded the same respect.
