The bill amends RCW 1.16.050 to officially recognize July 10 as "Walla Walla Sweet Onion Day" in the state of Washington. This addition is made under a new subsection (r), which acknowledges the day without granting it the status of a legal holiday. The bill maintains the existing list of state legal holidays while adding this new recognition to celebrate the Walla Walla sweet onion, a notable agricultural product of the region.

In addition to the new recognition, the bill clarifies that the previously established legal holidays remain unchanged, and it does not affect the number of paid holidays provided in agreements between employees and employers. The inclusion of Walla Walla Sweet Onion Day aims to honor the cultural and economic significance of this local crop while ensuring that it does not interfere with existing holiday provisions.
