Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 3-3-7, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Declare June 3 As Bobbie Gentry Day In Mississippi; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill declares June 3rd as Bobbie Gentry Day in Mississippi, honoring the American singer-songwriter, born Roberta Lee Streeter, who was a pioneer in composing and producing her own material and gained international fame with her 1967 hit "Ode to Billie Joe." This designation, added to Section 3-3-7 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, recognizes her significant contributions and rich legacy, but it is important to note that Bobbie Gentry Day will be a day of commemoration and observation, not a legal holiday.
