Session Laws

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately provide authorization to schedule high school graduation dates more than twelve days prior to the regular closing date of school to accommodate certain religious holidays, 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:

Notwithstanding the provisions of section four of chapter seventy-one of the General Laws, for the school year commencing in nineteen hundred and ninety-one only, a school committee may schedule a high school graduation more than twelve days prior to the regular closing date of such high school in order to accommodate certain religious holidays.
