HB 1249 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Holidays and Days of Special Observance - As introduced, designates December 14 of each year as "Hazel Moore Day." - Amends TCA Title 3 and Title 4.

HB 1249 designates December 14 of each year as "Hazel Moore Day" in Tennessee to honor Hazel Moore, a Whitehaven community leader recognized for founding youth programs, organizing health fairs, and receiving awards like the Pioneer Memphis Business Award. The bill amends Tennessee Code (Titles 3 and 4) to add this official observance to the state’s calendar of special days. It does not create new programs or alter existing laws; it solely commemorates Moore’s community contributions. The designation applies statewide but directly affects Tennessee’s official calendar and public recognition of community service.
