Holidays and Days of Special Observance - As enacted, designates the month of November as "Diabetes Awareness Month." - Amends TCA Title 15, Chapter 2, Part 1.

SB 462 designates the month of November as "Diabetes Awareness Month" in Tennessee by adding this observance to the state's official calendar of special days (Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 15, Chapter 2, Part 1). The bill directly affects all Tennessee residents by officially recognizing November for raising public awareness about diabetes. It does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements - only formalizing this month-long observance in state law. The measure became effective upon enactment as Public Chapter 139.
