This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 1-323, which designates the third Tuesday in January as the national day of racial healing. This addition aims to recognize and promote healing from racial divisions within the community.
Importantly, the bill clarifies that the national day of racial healing is not considered a legal holiday, meaning that it does not affect existing legal holidays or impose any mandatory observances or closures. The current statutes remain unchanged, with no deletions from existing law.
