CA SB 1394
in committeeState holidays: Cesar Chavez Day: Farmworkers Day.
California · 2025-2026 Regular Session · upper
Description
Existing law designates specific days as holidays in this state. Existing law designates holidays on which community colleges and public schools are authorized to close pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between the governing board and represented employees, including Cesar Chavez Day on March 31. Existing law entitles state employees, with specified exceptions, and authorizes certain community college and public school employees, to be given time off with pay for specified holidays, as specified. Existing law redesignates March 31 as Farmworkers Day instead of Cesar Chavez Day, and requires the Governor to annually proclaim March 31 as Farmworkers Day. This bill would remove the designation of March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day for purposes of holidays on which community colleges and public schools are authorized to close, and instead authorize community colleges and public schools to close on August 6, known as Farmworkers Day. The bill would revise the provisions related to state employees, certain community college employees, and public school employees to instead apply to Farmworker Day, as specified. The bill would also make conforming changes to designate August 6 as Farmworkers Day, and require the Governor to annually proclaim August 6 as Farmworkers Day. Existing law designates August 26 as California Farmworker Day, and requires the Governor to annually proclaim August 26 as California Farmworker Day. This bill would repeal the provisions relating to California Farmworker Day.
