Women's Veterans' Day; designate as a legal holiday in the State of Mississippi.
HB 526 amends Mississippi law to designate June 12 as "Women's Veterans' Day" as a legal holiday for state government operations. This means state offices and employees observe June 12 as a holiday, similar to other state-recognized days like Independence Day. The bill directly affects Mississippi state government functions and employees, requiring closures on that date. It does not create new benefits for veterans but formally adds the day to the state's list of legal holidays, aligning with existing holiday designations like Veterans' Day.
