HB 2471 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

Dolores Huerta; Cesar Chavez; holidays

HB 2471 adds two new state holidays in Arizona: March 31 for "Cesar Chavez Day" and April 1 for "Dolores Huerta Day." The bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes § 1-301 to include these dates in the official list of state holidays, affecting state employees and institutions that observe designated holidays. It also repeals Section 1-308 of the statutes. This is a procedural change to the state's holiday calendar with no substantive policy impact beyond naming these observances.
