Bill Summary
CONCERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LUNAR NEW YEAR DAY AS AN OBSERVED STATE HOLIDAY.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish Lunar New Year Day as an observed state holiday in Colorado. It recognizes the cultural and historical significance of the Lunar New Year celebration, which is an important event for the growing Asian American community in the state. The bill aims to promote inclusion, embrace diversity, and counter the rising tide of anti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes. It would allow more Coloradans to acknowledge and honor this tradition by designating the first Friday of February each year as "Lunar New Year Day," with appropriate observance to be held in public schools and by the public.
