Bill > HB1959

This bill designates three new state holidays in Missouri: June is now "Immigrant Heritage Month", encouraging citizens to recognize and celebrate the contributions of immigrants and their children to the state's prosperity and diversity; October 2nd is established as "Wrongful Conviction Day", prompting awareness about individuals wrongly convicted of crimes and exploring systemic issues leading to such injustices; and December 1st is named "Freeman Bosley, Sr. Day" to honor a long-serving St. Louis City politician who dedicated thirty years to public service and advocated for youth engagement in government. Each new holiday is meant to promote understanding, reflection, and community participation around its specific theme, with citizens encouraged to hold appropriate events and activities that highlight the significance of these commemorations.
