This bill proposes to amend section 1-301 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding two new holidays: March 31 as "Cesar Chavez Day" and April 1 as "Dolores Huerta Day." Additionally, it updates the numbering of existing holidays by removing the old numbering and inserting new numbers for the remaining holidays. The bill also repeals section 1-308 entirely, which is currently part of the statutes.
In terms of deletions, the bill removes the old numbering associated with several holidays, specifically those numbered 5 through 16, and replaces them with new numbers 7 through 19. The current provisions regarding the observance of holidays that fall on Sundays or Saturdays remain unchanged, except for the updated references to the newly numbered holidays. Overall, the bill modernizes the holiday statutes by recognizing additional significant days while streamlining the existing structure.
