AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "Political designation" in the Massachusetts General Laws. It allows a group of 500 registered voters to request a new political designation, which can be used by candidates for nomination, as long as it does not exceed three words and does not use the term "Independent." The designation will be dissolved if, after two years, it has fewer than one-quarter of one percent of the total number of registered voters. The bill also specifies that it shall take effect upon its passage.
