H.B. No. 3530 proposes to designate April 16 as "Selena Quintanilla Prez Day" in Texas, honoring the significant contributions of the late Tejano music icon, Selena Quintanilla Prez. The bill amends the Government Code by adding a new section, 662.086, which states that this day is to be recognized in memory of Selena's impact as an award-winning singer and recording artist. The bill also allows for the observance of this day through appropriate ceremonies and activities.

The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage. This designation aims to celebrate and preserve the legacy of Selena Quintanilla Prez within the cultural fabric of Texas, particularly in relation to the Tejano music genre.
