This bill amends the observance of Gold Star Mother's Day, changing it from the "first Sunday after Easter" to the "last Sunday in September." It also expands the recognition to include not only mothers but also families who have lost loved ones in the line of duty while serving in the United States armed forces. The governor is tasked with issuing a proclamation for this observance and is encouraged to promote appropriate events across the state, including in its cities, towns, and municipalities.

Additionally, the bill designates the Honor and Remember Flag as a state symbol of remembrance for those who have died in service. It mandates that this flag be displayed daily at the New Hampshire state veterans cemetery in Boscawen on the last Sunday in September, ensuring that the sacrifices of these individuals are honored and remembered. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
