Proposal for a legislative amendment to the Constitution relative to the title of the Governor

This bill seeks to amend the Massachusetts Constitution to officially change the title of the Governor to "The Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." The proposed change would also update the formal address for the office to "Her Excellency, His Excellency, or Their Excellency," depending on the gender of the officeholder. To pass, the measure requires approval by a majority of legislators in a joint session and subsequent ratification by voters in a statewide election. The legislation directly affects the state's highest executive office and the formal language used to address the Governor in official capacities.
