Bill > HB561

This bill creates a new section in Kentucky state law that officially designates June 12th of each year as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day" in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The legislation requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation on this day, encouraging Kentucky citizens to recognize and commemorate the significant contributions, sacrifices, and acts of valor made by women veterans throughout military history. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor, with the intention of first observing the day in 2025. By establishing this annual day of recognition, the legislation aims to highlight and honor the often-overlooked service and achievements of women who have served in the military, raising public awareness and showing respect for their important role in defending the nation.
