A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO WORLD PEACE DAY.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION
1. The legislature finds that World Peace Day, also officially
known as the International Day of Peace, is a United Nations-sanctioned holiday
observed around the world on September 21.
Originally established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly, the
holiday is dedicated to world peace through observing twenty-four hours of
non-violence and cease-fire.
The legislature further finds that as
international conflict continues in certain parts of the world, the recognition
of world peace and aspiration toward world peace become more important and
significant.
The purpose of this Act is to designate September
21 of each year as World Peace Day.
SECTION 2. Chapter 8, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§8‑ World Peace Day. September 21 of each year shall be known and designated as "World
Peace Day". This day is not and
shall not be construed to be a state holiday."
SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.
Report Title:
World Peace Day; Day of Observance
Description:
Designates September 21 of each year as World Peace Day. Effective 7/1/3000. (HD1)
