A new law introduced to the Florida Senate could remove three state holidays from the calendar.

The Removing Memorializations of the Confederate States of America bill was written by Democratic state Senator Lauren Book and was officially introduced to the Senate earlier this month. The bill proposes the removal of three days formally recognized by the state legislature as holidays. Two of these holidays are birthdays, Robert E. Lee Day on January 19 and Jefferson Davis Day on June 3. The other day that the bill aims to remove is Confederate Memorial Day on April 26.

However, the removal of these holidays is not the only thing that the bill aims to tackle. The bill is also expected to remove all memorials of the Confederate States of America, including monuments and flags.
