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 bill amends Section 25-1-1 of the General Laws to reflect this change, replacing the reference to "Victory Day" with "Peace and Remembrance Day." Additionally, it introduces a new section, 25-1-1.3, which prohibits state or municipal governmental departments or agencies from referring to the second Monday of August as "Victory Day" by any other name in advertisements paid for by those departments or agencies. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
