An Act designating Domestic Workers' Rights Day
This bill (H 3417) requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation designating June 16th as "Domestic Workers' Rights Day." It directly affects domestic workers in Massachusetts by formally recognizing their contributions and rights through a state-level observance. The key mechanism is a simple gubernatorial proclamation, requiring no new laws or funding, and it would be issued every year on June 16th. The bill is procedural and commemorative, not a policy change.
