SF 4878 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Designation of Cesar Chavez Day as a state observance repeal

This bill proposes removing the official state recognition of Cesar Chavez Day from Minnesota law. It directly affects the state's observance calendar by repealing the existing statute that designates March 31 as a day to honor Cesar Chavez and celebrate the Latino community. The legislation would eliminate the legal requirement to observe this day and remove the accompanying text that describes Chavez's contributions to labor rights and community organizing. If passed, the state would no longer officially recognize this date as a designated observance day.
