CHAPTER 1 AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL OBSERVANCE OF HOMELESS AWARENESS WEEK.

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately designate the last week in February as Homeless Awareness Week, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Chapter 6 of the General Laws is hereby amended by inserting after section 15BBB, inserted by section 1 of chapter 99 of the acts of 1986, the following section:-

Section 15CCC. The governor shall annually issue a proclamation setting apart the last week in February as Homeless Awareness Week and recommending that said week be observed in an appropriate manner by the people.

Approved February 25, 1987.
