Supports preservation of Columbus Day as federal and State holiday.
SR 24 is a non-binding Senate resolution supporting the preservation of Columbus Day as both a federal and state holiday. It expresses the Senate's recognition of the holiday's historical significance since 1892 and its importance to Italian-American heritage, citing longstanding observances like the New York City parade. The resolution directs copies to federal leaders, the President, congressional members, and Italian-American organizations like Unico National, but does not alter current holiday status. It serves as a symbolic statement of support, not a policy change.
