If this bill were to become law, it would update the current statute regarding the holiday observed on the second Monday in October. The current law designates this day as "Columbus Day," which would be amended to "Indigenous Peoples' Day."

Specifically, the bill would delete the term "Columbus" from the existing statute and insert "Indigenous Peoples'" in its place, thereby officially recognizing the day in honor of Indigenous peoples rather than Christopher Columbus.
