Senate Bill No. 721 designates June 12 of each year as National Women Veterans Recognition Day, acknowledging the significant contributions of women who have served in the United States armed forces. The bill mandates that the Governor proclaim this day and allows for suitable observances to be held at the State Capitol and other designated locations. The new legal language added to the current law is found in subsection (a) of section 10-29a, specifically in subdivision (118).
The bill does not create an additional public holiday, resulting in no fiscal impact on the state or municipalities. It is set to take effect upon passage, and it received unanimous support from the Veterans' and Military Affairs Committee.
