Bill Summary

An act relating to designating November as the Vermont Month of the Veteran.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to officially designate November of each year as the Vermont Month of the Veteran, a formal recognition of the significant contributions made by U.S. Armed Forces veterans to the nation's security and well-being. The bill adds a new section (§ 378) to Title 1 of the Vermont Statutes Annotated to establish this annual observance, explicitly stating the legislative intent to honor veterans through this formal designation. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing a clear timeline for implementation and allowing state agencies and communities time to prepare for the annual commemoration. By creating this dedicated month, Vermont aims to provide a structured opportunity to recognize and appreciate the service and sacrifices of military veterans throughout the state.
