AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law to require that any flag flown over the state capitol building be lowered to half-staff (raised only halfway up the flagpole) on December 7th each year, specifically to commemorate Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the surprise military strike by Japanese forces against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, which prompted the United States to enter World War II. By mandating that flags be flown at half-staff on this day, the bill seeks to honor the memory of the military personnel and civilians who were killed or wounded during the attack, which resulted in significant American casualties and marked a pivotal moment in U.S. history. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the bill's second section.
