Bill > HB1021

This bill establishes several new state designations and honors: It requires individuals to be deceased for at least 3 years before a day can be designated in their honor, except for those killed in combat or in the line of duty as a first responder, who must be deceased for at least 1 year. The bill designates "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Week," "National Good Neighbor Day" and "Missouri Good Neighbor Week," "Women Veterans Appreciation Day," and "K.C. Wolf Day." It also selects an official state work chronicling the 1993 flood, designates the Hawken rifle as the official state rifle, and declares Piedmont and Wayne County as the "UFO Capitals of Missouri." Additionally, the bill creates new regional designations like the "German Heritage Corridor of Missouri" and the "Stars and Stripes Historic Region of Missouri," and names numerous memorial highways, bridges, and other infrastructure after fallen first responders and military members.
