Relating to designating May 24 as Victims of the Uvalde Shooting Day.

Texas Senate Bill 1656 designates May 24 as "Victims of the Uvalde Shooting Day" to honor the 21 individuals killed during the May 24, 2022 Uvalde school shooting. The bill specifically names all 21 victims by name and requires the state to observe the day through "appropriate ceremonies and activities." This is a commemorative measure with no policy or funding changes, solely focused on recognizing the tragedy and victims. It takes effect immediately if passed with a two-thirds vote, or September 1, 2025, otherwise.
