The bill, designated as Substitute House Bill No. 5409 with File No. 412, proposes the designation of various days, weeks, and months to commemorate and raise awareness for specific causes and contributions. The bill includes amendments to existing designations and the addition of new ones. The amendments involve the recognition of September 14th as Free Enterprise Day, emphasizing the innovative spirit of entrepreneurs and their contributions to the state's economy, rather than the broader concept of free enterprise. Additionally, September 17th is to be proclaimed as Constitution Day, with added recognition of Connecticut for having the first written constitution of a democratic government.

New designations proposed by the bill include Parkinson's Awareness Day on April 11th, Tuskegee Airmen Day on April 26th, Red Dress Day on May 5th, Face Equity Week from May 13th to 19th with Face Equity Day on May 19th, Barber Recognition Day on June 1st, Dystonia Awareness Day on September 15th, and Epilepsy Awareness Month in November. These designations aim to raise awareness of various diseases, honor historical contributions, and recognize specific groups within the community. The Governor is tasked with proclaiming these days and organizing suitable exercises in the State Capitol and elsewhere. The bill is effective upon passage and has no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities.
