NASHVILLE, Tenn. – State Rep. Gino Bulso, R-Brentwood, has proposed legislation designating June, July and August in the Volunteer State as months celebrating core American values.
House Bill 327 will permanently designate June as Celebration of Life Month, July as Celebration of Liberty Month, and August as Celebration of the Pursuit of Happiness Month in Tennessee.
“The United States will soon celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a testament to the enduring spirit of the American people and the importance of treasuring our rich history,” Bulso said. “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are part of the fabric of our state and nation and they are ideals that should continue to be honored. Tennessee is one of the freest states in the nation and this legislation will encourage residents to appreciate the many liberties we all enjoy.”
The month of June was chosen as the Celebration of Life Month to commemorate the date the United States Supreme Court decided Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade. July was selected as Celebration of Liberty Month to recognize the month when the United States gained its independence, and August was chosen as Celebration of Pursuit of Happiness Month to commemorate when Tennessee children return to the classroom.
House Bill 327 is expected to be heard for consideration in the Naming and Designating Committee in the coming weeks.
State Rep. Gino Bulso represents House District 61, which includes part of Williamson County. He is chairman of the House Naming and Designating Committee and also served on the Calendar and Rules Committee, Education Committee, Judiciary Committee, Children and Family Affairs Subcommittee and the K-12 Subcommittee.
