Amendment 1

An Act establishing Massachusetts Farm-to-School Month and commending farm-to-school programs

The committee on Ways and Means recommends that the bill be amended by inserting before the enacting clause the following emergency preamble:-

“Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to forthwith set apart the month of October as Massachusetts Farm-to-School Month in recognition of the vital role agriculture plays in the culture, heritage and economy of the commonwealth, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.”
