AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law by creating a new observance day, designating March 3 of each year as "Sister Sandra Smithson Day" to recognize her significant contributions to education in Nashville. Specifically, the bill honors Sister Smithson for her work in improving educational opportunities for children and for founding Nashville's first charter school. The legislation clarifies that while this is an official day of observance, it is not considered a legal holiday, which means government offices and businesses would not be required to close. The day is intended to commemorate Sister Smithson's educational legacy and community impact. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
