Proposal for a legislative amendment to the Constitution relative to the Governor and Lieutenant Governor

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts Constitution to replace gendered language with gender-neutral terms when referring to the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Specifically, it would change pronouns like "his" and "he" to "his or her" and "he or she" throughout the sections of the state constitution that define the powers and duties of these executive offices. The change aims to ensure the legal documents accurately reflect that both men and women can hold these positions without relying on outdated phrasing. If passed by the legislature and approved by voters, the amendment would update the constitutional text to be inclusive of all potential officeholders.
