House Bill 1481, also known as Senate Bill 1942, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 15, Chapter 2, to officially designate the third Sunday in June as "Fathers' Day." This new observance aims to honor the significant contributions and roles that fathers play within Tennessee families, recognizing their leadership, dedication, and influence on future generations.
The bill highlights the importance of fathers in instilling values such as hard work, integrity, and perseverance in their children, and aligns Tennessee's observance of Fathers' Day with the national celebration that occurs on the same day. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the public welfare in recognizing the vital role of fathers in society.
