Bill > HB2101

This bill establishes June 12 as "Oklahoma Women Veterans History Day" to recognize and honor women who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States. The legislation creates a new section of Oklahoma state law that designates this specific date each year as a day for citizens to commemorate and pay tribute to women veterans. While not creating an official state holiday with time off work, the bill encourages all Oklahoma residents to spend a portion of the day acknowledging and expressing gratitude for the service and sacrifices of women who have served in any branch of the U.S. military. The bill also includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, highlighting the perceived importance of recognizing women veterans' contributions to the state and nation.
