Bill Summary
CONCERNING A CHANGE IN THE NAME OF THE VOLUNTARY LEGAL HOLIDAY OBSERVED ON MARCH 31 FROM "CESAR CHAVEZ DAY" TO "FARM WORKERS DAY".
AI Summary
This bill changes the name of the voluntary legal holiday observed on March 31 from "Cesar Chavez Day" to "Farm Workers Day" for the years 2026 and 2027, with the intention of honoring the historical struggles and ongoing contributions of farm workers. The bill's legislative declaration highlights the significant achievements of the Farm Workers Movement, such as securing fair labor practices, improved working conditions, and protections against dangerous pesticides, and also acknowledges allegations of sexual abuse against Cesar Chavez, stating that the state cannot in good conscience continue to celebrate a holiday bearing his name. The bill also notes that future legislative action will be required to determine the name of the observance after 2027 and that efforts are underway to rename state properties currently named after Cesar Chavez.
