AI Summary
This bill designates November 9th of each year as "Gold Star Father's Day" in Tennessee, a day intended to honor and recognize fathers who have lost children while those children were serving in the United States armed forces. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 15, Chapter 2, which deals with legal holidays and observances, by adding this new designated day. Importantly, "Gold Star Father's Day" will not be a legal holiday, meaning state offices will remain open and it will not affect standard business operations. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
