SB 1942 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Holidays and Days of Special Observance - As enacted, designates the third Sunday in June of each year as "Fathers' Day." - Amends TCA Title 15, Chapter 2.

SB 1942 designates the third Sunday in June of each year as "Fathers' Day" in Tennessee. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 15, Chapter 2, to formally establish this day of observance in state law. It does not create new obligations or change existing policies, but aligns Tennessee's recognition with the national observance date for Fathers' Day. The designation applies to state agencies and official communications, honoring fathers' roles in families without altering other legal requirements.
