Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the designation of Celebration of Life Day as a state holiday.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Election Code and Government Code to designate June 24th as "Celebration of Life Day" and establish it as an official state holiday. The bill makes technical changes to several sections of code, specifically updating references from six to seven or eight state holidays. By adding Celebration of Life Day to the list of recognized state holidays, the bill expands the current roster of holidays that include days like Confederate Heroes Day, Texas Independence Day, Emancipation Day, and others. The changes will be implemented on September 1, 2025, which allows time for government agencies and organizations to prepare for the new holiday. The bill does not provide details about the specific significance or purpose of Celebration of Life Day, focusing instead on the procedural aspects of adding it to the official state holiday calendar.
