AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law to designate three consecutive months (June, July, and August) as special commemorative months in honor of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Specifically, June will be known as "Celebration of Life" month, July as "Celebration of Liberty" month, and August as "Celebration of the Pursuit of Happiness" month. These designations directly reference the famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson, which asserts that "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are fundamental, unalienable rights of all citizens. The bill does not appear to establish any specific requirements or activities for these months, but rather serves as a symbolic recognition of the historic document and its core principles. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
