Bill > SB01519

This bill amends Connecticut state law to designate several new commemorative days, weeks, and months, each to be proclaimed annually by the Governor. These new observances include recognizing important health conditions (such as Neurofibromatosis Awareness Day, Parkinson's Awareness Day, and Brain Tumor Awareness Month), honoring veterans and military contributors (like Tuskegee Airmen Day and National Women Veterans' Recognition Day), celebrating cultural and professional groups (including Local Journalism Appreciation Day and Barber Recognition Day), and highlighting scientific and social awareness topics (such as Connecticut Native Plant Month and Connecticut Microbiome Day). Each designated day or month comes with the opportunity for suitable commemorative exercises at the State Capitol and other locations, aimed at raising public awareness, educating the community, and recognizing significant contributions in various fields. The bill covers a wide range of observances spanning health, history, culture, science, and social justice, reflecting a diverse approach to commemorating important aspects of human experience and achievement.
