The bill establishes the month of March as Women's History Month in the state of Alaska. It amends AS 44.12 by adding a new section, Sec. 44.12.088, which designates March each year for this observance. The bill encourages schools, community groups, and both public and private agencies to engage in appropriate activities that honor and recognize the contributions of women throughout the history of Alaska and the United States.
This initiative aims to promote awareness and appreciation of women's roles and achievements in society, fostering a greater understanding of their impact on history. By officially recognizing March as Women's History Month, the state seeks to encourage educational and commemorative activities that celebrate women's contributions.
