The bill establishes October 21 of each year as "Celia Cruz Day" in Florida, honoring the legacy of the renowned Cuban-American singer known as the Queen of Salsa. The legislation highlights Cruz's significant contributions to music, including her time with the orchestra La Sonora Matancera, where she recorded numerous songs and received multiple prestigious awards, such as the National Medal of Arts and several Grammy Awards. The bill also acknowledges her cultural impact, including her recognition on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and her recent commemoration through a collectible Barbie doll and a U.S. quarter.

The new legal language created by this bill is found in Section 683.27 of the Florida Statutes, which designates October 21 as Celia Cruz Day. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
