Annual observance for 1st Minnesota Day established.

HF 2063 designates July 2 each year as "1st Minnesota Day" to honor the 262 men of the 1st Minnesota Regiment who fought for the Union at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. The bill requires the governor to issue an annual proclamation, encourages schools to teach about the regiment's Civil War role, and mandates that the Minnesota Historical Society's replica regimental flag be flown at the State Capitol on July 2. It directly affects state government officials, public schools, and Capitol operations through these ceremonial requirements. The bill establishes a recurring observance without creating new taxes, regulations, or funding.
