The bill amends 2003 PA 225 to officially designate March 31 of each year as "Farm Workers Day," replacing the previous designation of "Cesar E. Chavez Day." The new language recognizes the contributions of the United Farm Workers of America in advocating for safe working conditions, fair wages, and the rights of farm workers. The bill emphasizes the collective efforts of the organization rather than focusing solely on Chavez, highlighting their commitment to nonviolent principles and the fight against discrimination.

Additionally, the bill encourages Michiganders to reflect on the sacrifices made by farm workers on this day, acknowledging their essential role in society. The amendments include the removal of specific references to Cesar E. Chavez's personal history and achievements, instead broadening the recognition to encompass the entire movement for farm workers' rights.
