Bill > AB98

This bill creates a new annual day of observance in Nevada by requiring the Governor to proclaim April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day" each year. The legislation amends Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Chapter 236, which already contains provisions for various days of commemoration in the state. The bill not only establishes the official day in honor of Dolores Huerta, a prominent labor leader and civil rights activist, but also mandates that public schools and educational institutions are encouraged to recognize her life, work, and significant contributions to the United States. Dolores Huerta is well-known for her pivotal role in the farmworkers' rights movement, co-founding the United Farm Workers union with César Chávez and advocating for workers' rights, particularly for agricultural laborers. By creating this day of observance, the bill seeks to educate Nevadans about Huerta's important historical and social contributions and ensure her legacy is remembered and honored.
