Senate Bill 269 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to officially recognize June 19 as "Juneteenth" alongside July 4 as a significant date. This addition is made in Section 15-1-101, which now includes the phrase "June 19, known as 'Juneteenth';" before the mention of July 4.

Additionally, the bill removes Section 15-2-137 from the Tennessee Code Annotated entirely. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing its importance for public welfare.
