AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina state law to establish an annual parade as part of Penn Center Heritage Day, which occurs on the second Saturday of November each year. Penn Center, a historically significant cultural institution located on St. Helena Island, is known for its commitment to education, community development, and social justice, particularly in the context of African American history in the Lowcountry region. The bill specifies that the parade route will be determined by the local governing body, thereby creating an official, structured commemoration of Penn Center's heritage and contributions. By codifying this annual parade into state law, the legislation aims to promote awareness and celebration of Penn Center's historical and cultural significance. The bill will take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval.
