H 2996 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act extending the Special Commission Relative to the Seal & Motto of the Commonwealth

This bill extends the deadline for a special commission in Massachusetts that is investigating the state's official seal and motto. The legislation updates existing laws to allow the commission to submit interim reports on its progress and moves the final completion date from December 31, 2022, to November 15, 2023. These changes directly affect the members of the commission and the state agencies overseeing the inquiry, giving them additional time to finish their work. The bill does not alter the scope of the investigation but rather provides a procedural extension for the review process.
