holiday; Indigenous Peoples' day.
HB 2937 renames Arizona's state holiday previously called "Columbus Indigenous Peoples' Day" to simply "Indigenous Peoples' Day" in the state's official holidays list. This change directly affects state employees and public institutions, which observe the holiday as a paid day off. The bill only modifies the holiday's name in Arizona Revised Statutes §1-301, leaving all other holiday dates and observance rules unchanged. It does not create new programs, funding, or requirements - only updates the designated name for the second Monday in October.
