What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates Hmong-Lao Veterans Day, the purpose of which is to recognize

Southeast Asians, Americans, and their allies who served, suffered, sacrificed, or

died in the Secret War in Laos during the Vietnam War in support of the armed forces

of the United States, and to recognize May 14, 1975, as the last day of airlift

evacuation of officers and their families from the covert headquarters in Long Tieng,

Laos, to the Nam Phong refugee camp in Thailand. The bill designates May 14 as

Hmong-Lao Veterans Day and requires the governor to annually issue a

proclamation for the observance of Hmong-Lao Veterans Day.
