Bill Summary
As introduced, designates March 3 of each year as "Sister Sandra Smithson Day." - Amends TCA Title 15, Chapter 2.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law by establishing March 3 of each year as "Sister Sandra Smithson Day" to commemorate the contributions of Sister Sandra Smithson to education in Nashville. Specifically, the bill recognizes Smithson's significant work in improving educational opportunities for children and her role in founding Nashville's first charter school. Importantly, while the day is officially designated as an observance day, it is explicitly not classified as a legal holiday, which means government offices and businesses would not be required to close. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
