Bill Summary
Substituted by the House, on motion of Mr. Speliotis of Danvers, for a Bill providing for the annual observance of the month of March as Massachusetts maple month and designating pure Massachusetts maple syrup as the official sweetener of the Commonwealth (House, No. 3735). February 20, 2018.
AI Summary
This bill designates the month of March as Massachusetts Maple Month in recognition of the vital role maple sugaring plays in the state's agriculture industry, culture, heritage, and economy. The bill requires the governor to issue an annual proclamation commending the maple syrup producers and recommending that the month be observed in an appropriate manner by the people. The bill also removes the provision that would have designated pure Massachusetts maple syrup as the official sweetener of the Commonwealth.
