(Boston, MA) The Massachusetts State Seal and Motto may be under review. A bill passed in the Senate yesterday giving the OK for a review of the Massachusetts State Seal and Motto. The bill creates a special commission for the review. The state motto is currently “Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem” or translated “by the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.” The new bill, S.2848, asks the new commission to submit a detailed report of findings and recommendations no later than October 2021. The bill still needs to be passed by the House. To read A Resolve providing for the creation of a special commission relative to the seal and motto of the Commonwealth, click here.
