This bill amends Section 25-1-1 of the General Laws in Chapter 25-1, which pertains to holidays, by changing the name of the holiday observed on the second Monday of August from "Victory Day" to "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 by any other name in advertisements. The bill repeals the existing language that restricted the naming of the holiday as "Victory Day." The changes are intended to reflect a shift in the observance of this holiday. The act will take effect upon passage.
