AI Summary
This bill would authorize the University of Massachusetts at Boston to rename its student center as the George V. Kenneally, Jr. Student Center, honoring Kenneally's service and dedication to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The bill consists of two main provisions: first, it officially designates the student center with the new name, recognizing Kenneally's contributions, and second, it requires the Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts to install and maintain appropriate signage indicating the new name, ensuring the markers are consistent with the university's standards. This type of legislative action, which names a public facility after a notable individual, is a common way to commemorate and recognize significant public service or community contributions.
