HB 1806 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 38 (Holidays and Observances) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in veteran recognition, providing for 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Day.

HB 1806 would establish "6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Day" as an official observance in Pennsylvania, recognizing the service of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion - a unit of African American women in the Women's Army Corps during World War II. The bill amends Pennsylvania's statutes to include this day in the state's list of recognized holidays and observances. It directly affects Pennsylvanians by creating a designated day for educational and commemorative activities honoring this historic military unit. The measure is procedural, focusing solely on formal recognition without altering existing laws or policies.
