HF 4541 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Cesar Chavez Day eliminated.

This bill eliminates Cesar Chavez Day as an official state observance in Minnesota by repealing the existing statute that established the holiday. The law removes the requirement to recognize March 31 as a day dedicated to celebrating the Latino community and honoring Cesar Chavez's contributions to labor rights and social justice. Once enacted, the state will no longer officially observe this day, though the legislative change does not affect private or community celebrations. The measure applies directly to state government operations and removes the legal basis for the annual commemoration.
