Key Bridge Heroes Commemoration Day and Memorial Tribute Ceremony

HB 1327 designates March 26 as "Key Bridge Heroes Commemoration Day" in Maryland to honor six workers who died in the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse on March 26, 2024. The bill requires the Governor to annually proclaim this day and specifically name the six deceased workers: Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, Carlos Daniel Hernandez, Jose Mynor Lopez, and Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval. It also mandates an official State memorial ceremony in Annapolis on March 26, 2027, to honor their sacrifices and recognize their families. This is a purely commemorative measure with no new policy or funding provisions.
