An Act relative to preserving the ancient privileges of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts

This bill preserves the historical military status of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts (AHA) under state law. It formally recognizes the AHA as part of the Commonwealth's organized militia, retaining its unique privileges, name, distinctive uniforms, and internal governance structure. The law ensures the AHA continues serving as a ceremonial honor guard for the governor at state functions, as directed by the commander-in-chief. The bill makes these specific provisions permanent by amending Chapter 33 of the General Laws, directly affecting only this historic military company.
