Senate Bill No. 721, also known as Public Act No. 25-20, amends section 10-29a of the general statutes to establish June 12th of each year as National Women Veterans Recognition Day. This new designation aims to honor and acknowledge the significant contributions of women who have served in the United States armed forces. The bill mandates that the Governor proclaim this day annually and allows for suitable observances to take place at the State Capitol and other designated locations.
The bill introduces a new subdivision (118) to subsection (a) of section 10-29a, which specifically outlines the Governor's responsibility to proclaim this recognition day. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill. The act was approved on June 9, 2025, and is effective immediately upon passage.
