Bill Summary
Relative to the Massachusetts Medical Society. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill proposes a minor linguistic update to the Massachusetts Medical Society's mission statement by replacing the word "citizens" with "people" in Chapter 491 of the Acts of 1969. While the change may seem small, it reflects a more inclusive approach to language, potentially broadening the perceived scope of the medical society's mission from a strictly legal citizenship perspective to a more universal human-oriented approach. The bill suggests a subtle shift in terminology that could symbolize a more expansive and welcoming interpretation of who the Medical Society serves, moving from a narrower definition based on citizenship status to a broader understanding of humanity.
