What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law gives the governor authority to set aside, by proclamation, certain

days of the year to remember or honor specific groups or concerns. For example, the

governor issues a proclamation for Labor Day, Mother's Day, Wonderful Wisconsin

Week, Veteran Recognition Week, POW-MIA Recognition Day, and Purple Heart

Day.

This bill designates July 27, the date of the military armistice agreement that

ended the Korean War, as "Korean War Armistice Day," and requires the governor

to issue a proclamation for the observation of that day, asking the public to

contemplate the sacrifices that members of the U.S. armed forces made during the

Korean War.
