AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend Chapter 2 of the Massachusetts General Laws by officially designating Bell's Seasoning as the state's official seasoning. Bell's Seasoning is a historic spice blend created in 1867 by William G. Bell, a Boston inventor, and has been manufactured in East Weymouth, Massachusetts. By adding this new section to the existing law, the legislation would formally recognize this long-standing local product as a symbolic representation of the state's culinary heritage, highlighting its historical significance and local origins. The bill represents a ceremonial gesture to honor a traditional Massachusetts food product that has been part of the state's culinary landscape for over 150 years.
