Relating to abolishing Confederate Heroes Day.
SB 2724 removes "Confederate Heroes Day" from Texas's official list of state holidays by amending the Election Code and Government Code. It deletes the specific reference to January 19th as "Confederate Heroes Day" (honoring Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee) from the statutory list of state holidays. The bill directly affects Texas state holiday designations, eliminating this day from the calendar of official observances. This change takes effect September 1, 2025, and applies to all state government operations and holidays. The bill makes a concrete policy change by modifying state law to no longer recognize this day as a state holiday.
