AI Summary

This bill proposes to change the name of "Columbus Day" to "Italian-American Heritage Day" and will be observed on the second Monday in October, a date already recognized for Columbus Day. The legislation amends Chapter 6, Section 12V of existing law to reflect this change and expands the purpose of the holiday from solely honoring Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America, to celebrating Italian-Americans and their significant contributions to the Commonwealth's cultural, economic, and political life.
