The bill proposes the repeal of the designation of Cesar Chavez Day as a state observance in Minnesota. Specifically, it seeks to remove Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 10.555, which currently recognizes March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day, a day intended to celebrate the contributions of the Latino community in the state and honor the legacy of Cesar Chavez as a community organizer and advocate for labor rights and social justice.

By enacting this bill, the legislature will eliminate the formal recognition of Cesar Chavez Day, thereby removing the associated educational and celebratory opportunities that the observance provided to the citizens of Minnesota regarding the Latino community and its impact on the state.
