An Act establishing a holiday known as "John F. Kennedy Day" to promote civic engagement and voter participation in the Commonwealth

This bill would establish "John F. Kennedy Day" as a state holiday in Massachusetts, observed on November 22nd (the anniversary of President Kennedy's death) in all odd-numbered years and the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in even-numbered years. It creates a 10-member commission appointed by state leaders and Kennedy-related foundations to promote civic engagement and voter participation. The commission must recommend specific activities, including developing a K-12 education curriculum, hosting events, marketing materials, voter engagement initiatives, registration drives, and improving voter access. The commission is required to meet semiannually and issue an annual report to state legislative clerks.
