An Act relative to designation of the state public health laboratory campus in honor of Dr. Alfred DeMaria, Jr
This bill officially designates the Massachusetts State Public Health Laboratory Campus in Boston as the Dr. Alfred DeMaria, Jr. Campus to honor his contributions to epidemiology and public health. It requires the Department of Public Health to install and maintain a physical marker displaying this new name on the campus grounds.
