SR 31 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Women's Equal Pay Day.

Senate Resolution 31 designates March 25, 2025, as Women’s Equal Pay Day in California. The resolution highlights the persistent gender pay gap, citing that women earn 83 cents for every dollar earned by men (with wider gaps for women of color), and aims to raise awareness about pay equity without implementing new laws or policies. It serves as a symbolic recognition of ongoing disparities, referencing statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Labor. The resolution does not create binding requirements or alter existing legislation.
