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 in the statute, shifting the subsequent holidays down by two positions to accommodate the new additions. The current holidays remain unchanged, but the bill removes the old numbering associated with the deleted entries.
Furthermore, the bill repeals section 1-308 of the Arizona Revised Statutes entirely. This repeal indicates a significant change in the legal framework regarding holidays, as it eliminates any provisions that may have been previously established under that section. Overall, the bill modernizes the holiday observance framework in Arizona by recognizing important cultural figures while streamlining the existing statutory language.
