Bill > HB1928

This bill amends the State Commemorative Dates Act by establishing October 25 of each year as Gene "Coach Ping" Pingatore Day, a state-wide commemorative day dedicated to honoring the athletic accomplishments and legacy of Gene Pingatore. The bill designates this specific date as an official observance throughout Illinois, allowing residents to recognize and celebrate Pingatore's contributions, likely to his sport (presumably basketball, though the specific sport is not mentioned in the text). The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, which means it will be enacted as soon as it is signed by the appropriate governmental authority. This type of commemorative legislation is common at the state level, serving to recognize and memorialize individuals who have made significant contributions to their community or profession.
