AN ACT relating to Women Veterans Appreciation Day and declaring an emergency.
HB 561 designates June 12 of each year as "Women Veterans Appreciation Day" in Kentucky, honoring the service of women veterans. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging Kentuckians to recognize their contributions and sacrifices. It directly affects Kentucky's approximately 27,000 women veterans by establishing a formal day of recognition within state law, though it does not create new benefits or funding. The bill is classified as an emergency to take effect immediately upon enactment.
