This bill proposes to change the name of the holiday celebrated on the second Monday of August in Rhode Island from "Victory Day" to "Peace and Remembrance Day." The legal text amends Section 25-1-1 of the General Laws to reflect this name change, replacing "Victory Day" with "Peace and Remembrance Day." Additionally, Section 25-1-1.3, which prohibited state or municipal governmental departments or agencies from referring to the holiday by any other name in advertisements, is repealed. This act is intended to take effect upon passage.
