HB 2378 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Holidays and Days of Special Observance - As enacted, designates October 11 of each year to be observed as "General Pulaski Memorial Day." - Amends TCA Title 15, Chapter 2.

HB 2378 designates October 11 of each year as "General Pulaski Memorial Day" in Tennessee to honor Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish-born Revolutionary War hero who died on that date in 1779. The bill adds this observance to Tennessee law (TCA Title 15, Chapter 2) but specifies it is not a legal holiday. It aims to commemorate Pulaski's military service, his role as "Father of the American Cavalry," and recognize Polish-American contributions to Tennessee, aligning with the federal observance of the same day. The bill does not create new policies or affect specific groups beyond establishing a state-level day of remembrance.
