WORKERS MEMORIAL DAY
This bill designates April 28, 2026, as Workers Memorial Day in Illinois to honor individuals who have died or been injured due to unsafe working conditions. The resolution serves as a symbolic gesture to acknowledge the importance of workplace safety and commemorates the anniversary of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act. It does not create new laws or change regulations but instead directs a copy of the resolution to the Illinois AFL-CIO as a symbol of support for safe jobs.
