The bill designates the month of January as "Snow Professionals Appreciation Month" in Minnesota, recognizing the vital contributions of snow professionals who work diligently during the winter months. These professionals are responsible for clearing snow, maintaining safe streets and sidewalks, and managing ice through the application of salt and sand. The bill highlights the importance of snow removal services to Minnesota's winter economy and acknowledges the diverse range of services provided, from small residential shoveling to large-scale commercial plowing.

To promote awareness and appreciation for these essential workers, the bill allows the governor to encourage public observance of Snow Professionals Appreciation Month. This initiative aims to educate the public about the significant role snow professionals play in ensuring safety and accessibility during the winter season. The new legal language for this designation is proposed to be added to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 10.
