The bill amends section 1001.42 of the Florida Statutes to require K-12 school districts to observe Veterans' Day as a school holiday. Specifically, it adds a new provision that mandates each school district to recognize Veterans' Day, as defined in section 110.117(1)(f), as a designated school holiday. This change aims to ensure that schools honor and recognize the significance of Veterans' Day.

The effective date for this new requirement is set for July 1, 2026. This legislation reflects a commitment to acknowledging the contributions of veterans and integrating this observance into the academic calendar of Florida's K-12 education system.
