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 Additionally, Section 25-1-1.3, which prohibited the use of any other name for the holiday, is repealed, allowing for the new designation to be officially recognized. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
