Designates the first Sunday in August each year as "Pennytown Day"
This bill designates the first Sunday in August as "Pennytown Day" to honor Pennytown, Missouri, which was once the largest African American community in central Missouri. The legislation encourages citizens to participate in events and activities that remember the history of this community. By adding this designation to state law, the bill ensures an annual opportunity for public commemoration without altering any existing legal requirements.
