An Act To Amend Section 3-3-7, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Designate November 9th As Gold Star Father's Day; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill designates November 9th as Gold Star Father's Day in Mississippi, a day to recognize and commemorate fathers of fallen or permanently disabled service members, ensuring their sacrifices are honored. This new observance will not be a legal holiday, meaning it will be a day of recognition and observation rather than a day off from work or school. The bill amends Section 3-3-7 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, which lists existing legal holidays and other days of recognition, and will take effect on July 1, 2026.
