The bill establishes January 27 as "Holocaust Remembrance Day" in Florida, requiring the Governor to annually proclaim this day in honor of the millions of victims of the Holocaust. It allows for the observance of this day in public schools and through public exercises designated by the Governor. If January 27 falls on a non-school day, the observance can be moved to the next school day as determined by the local school district.
Additionally, the bill permits instruction on the Holocaust's harmful impacts and the contributions of the Jewish community to be included in public school curricula on this day. The new section created in the Florida Statutes is 683.196, which outlines these provisions, and the act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
