House Bill No. 6723 proposes to designate the month of November each year as "Veterans' Month" in recognition of the service and sacrifice of individuals who have served in the armed forces. The bill mandates that the Governor issue a proclamation to this effect and allows for suitable observances to be held at the State Capitol and other designated locations. The new legal language added to the current law is found in subsection (a) of section 10-29a, specifically the addition of subdivision (118), which outlines this designation.

The bill is set to take effect upon passage and does not have any associated fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as indicated in the fiscal note. The Veterans' and Military Affairs Committee has reported favorably on the bill, with a unanimous vote of 20 in favor and none against.
