Bill Summary

Relative to the annual observance of Massachusetts Women’s Defense Corps remembrance day. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 6 of the General Laws by adding a new section that designates April 2nd as "Massachusetts Women's Defense Corps Remembrance Day." The governor would be required to annually issue a proclamation for this day, which aims to recognize the significant contributions of approximately 18,000 women who volunteered for the Massachusetts Women's Defense Corps. These women served in various crucial roles during a time of need, including as air raid wardens, drivers, communications personnel, canteen workers, medics, chemical detection personnel, and emergency firefighters, and the proclamation would recommend that the day be observed appropriately by the public.
