This bill proposes to amend section 1-301 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by updating the designation of the holiday currently known as "Columbus Day." Under the new law, the holiday will be renamed to "Indigenous Peoples' Day."

The current statute specifies the holiday as "Second Monday in October, Columbus Day," but the bill would remove the term "Columbus" and replace it with "Indigenous Peoples'," thereby reflecting a shift in recognition towards Indigenous communities.
