HB 2238 modifies the list of official state holidays by renaming "Heroes Day," which honored Confederate leaders such as Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee, as "Confederate Freedom Day." The bill makes no changes to the observance dates but alters the description of the holiday. The new designation aims to change the holiday’s framing while maintaining its status on the state calendar.
