Additionally, the bill allows for the observance of Selena Quintanilla Prez Day through appropriate ceremonies and activities.

The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, ensuring that the recognition of Selena Quintanilla Prez Day will be established in Texas law, allowing future generations to celebrate her legacy and contributions to music and culture.
