HB 324 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Women's Veterans' Day; designate as a legal holiday in the State of Mississippi.

HB 324 would have designated June 12 as "Women's Veterans' Day" as a legal holiday in Mississippi, adding it to the state's official list of holidays under Section 3-3-7 of the Mississippi Code. This change would have required state government offices and institutions observing legal holidays to close on June 12 each year, directly affecting state employees and public services. The bill's key mechanism was amending the state code to include this date alongside existing holidays like Independence Day and Veterans' Day. The legislation aimed to formally recognize women's military service history, including the 1948 Women's Armed Services Integration Act.
