The Poor Act 1555 (2 & 3 Ph. & M. c. 5) was a law passed in England by Queen Mary I. It is a part of the Tudor Poor Laws.
It extended the Poor Act 1551 and added a provision that licensed beggars must wear badges. The provision requiring badges was added to shame local community members into donating more alms to their parish for poor relief.[1]
