This bill aims to officially designate Lunar New Year as a holiday in the state of Michigan. It specifies that the holiday will be recognized on the second new moon after the winter solstice, or the third new moon if an intercalary month occurs, according to the Chinese calendar. The bill acknowledges the cultural significance of this holiday for Michiganders of Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, and other East or Southeast Asian backgrounds.

The legal language inserted into the current law includes a declaration by the legislature that establishes the date and significance of Lunar New Year as a recognized holiday. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in this bill.
