H 2157 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act updating the Medical Society mission statement

HD 3917 amends a 1969 law to update the Medical Society's mission statement by replacing the word "citizens" with "people." This is a technical wording change affecting only the society's official documentation, not its duties or services. The bill does not alter any policies, responsibilities, or healthcare provisions. It is a non-substantive procedural adjustment with no impact on current operations or public services.
