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 March 29 as "Vietnam Veterans Day" to recognize the 1,239

Wisconsin armed forces members who are listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in

Washington, D.C. The bill requires the governor to issue a proclamation for the

observation of that day, asking the public to recall the Vietnam veterans'

accomplishments and to thank those veterans for their service during the Vietnam

War.
