The bill establishes the second Monday in February as a new public holiday called "Football Monday" in New Mexico. This addition modifies the existing list of legal public holidays by inserting Football Monday as item C, while also renumbering the subsequent holidays accordingly.
In the amended section, the previous designation of holidays has been updated to reflect this change, with the new order including Football Monday, followed by Washington's and Lincoln's birthday (now item D), Memorial Day (item E), and so forth, through to Christmas Day (item K). The bill aims to recognize the cultural significance of football in the state by officially designating a day for celebration.
