An Act establishing the period between September 15 and October 15 of each year as Hispanic Heritage Month.

SB 40 designates September 15 to October 15 each year as Hispanic Heritage Month in Alaska. This bill requires schools, community groups, and public or private organizations to observe this period with activities honoring Hispanic Americans' contributions to Alaska and U.S. history and culture. It amends Alaska Statute 44.12 to formally establish the observance period without creating new programs or funding. The bill is purely ceremonial, focusing on recognition rather than policy changes.
