AI Summary
This bill requires the Governor of Maryland to annually proclaim January 27 as "Maryland Holocaust Remembrance Day". The proclamation must declare the day as a time for reflection, recollection, and determination to remember the human tragedy of the Holocaust and to ensure that the lessons and reality of the Holocaust are passed on to future generations, in an effort to prevent such mass atrocities from occurring again due to prejudice, bigotry, ignorance, and hate. The bill also renumbers existing sections of the state's General Provisions code to accommodate the new section on the Holocaust Remembrance Day.
