An Act to designate the courthouse in the Roxbury section of the city of Boston as the Edward O. Gourdin Courthouse

This bill designates the Boston municipal court building in Roxbury as the Edward O. Gourdin Courthouse to honor the late judge's contributions to the judiciary and community. The legislation requires the state's capital asset management and maintenance division to install and maintain official markers displaying the new name at the facility located at 85 Warren Street. This change is purely commemorative and does not alter the building's function or the legal processes conducted there.
