Bob Graham Day

This Senate Resolution designates August 9, 2026, as "Bob Graham Day" throughout the State of Florida to honor the legacy of former Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham. The bill directly affects state officials and the public by establishing an official commemorative date that recognizes Graham's contributions to Florida's environmental preservation, public service, and political leadership. Key provisions include formal recognition of the date August 9, which marks the founding of the Save Our Everglades program in 1983, and acknowledge Graham's extensive career spanning 38 years in public office. The resolution serves as a symbolic tribute rather than creating new laws or regulations, focusing on celebrating Graham's achievements in areas such as environmental conservation, education, and national security.
