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 this holiday by any other name in advertisements funded by those departments or agencies. The bill does not repeal the existing Section 25-1-1.3 but rather establishes a new prohibition regarding the naming of the holiday. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
