An Act designating a certain underpass in the town of Mansfield as the Patrolman Walter P. Langley Memorial Underpass.

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to establish forthwith a memorial in recognition of patrolman Walter P. Langley, 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:
 

SECTION 1. The underpass on Copeland drive in the town of Mansfield shall be designated and known as the Patrolman Walter P. Langley Memorial Underpass, in recognition of Patrolman Walter P. Langley who was killed in the line of duty at that location on Sunday, October 2, 1983. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, The Boy Scouts of America, Troop 17 may erect and maintain suitable markers bearing the designation, in consultation with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and in compliance with the standards of the department.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon its passage.
