The bill establishes the month of October as Jewish Heritage Month in the state of Alaska. It amends AS 44.12 by adding a new section, Sec. 44.12.158, which designates October for the observance of Jewish Heritage Month. This month is intended to be recognized through appropriate ceremonies, educational activities, and public acknowledgment of the contributions made by Jewish residents, both past and present, in the state.

This initiative aims to promote awareness and appreciation of Jewish culture and history within Alaska, fostering a sense of community and recognition for the Jewish population's impact on the state's development. The bill does not include any deletions from current law.
