Maddy summarySB 96 designates January 27 of each year as "International Holocaust Remembrance Day" in Nevada, directly affecting all Nevada residents through state recognition. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging observance, specifically directing state entities, schools, and media to promote public awareness about the Holocaust and other historical genocides. Key provisions include formally adding this day to Nevada’s calendar of recognized observances and mandating the Governor’s proclamation to emphasize education and remembrance. The law builds on Nevada’s prior efforts, such as Assembly Bill 231 (2021), to improve genocide education in schools. This is a non-binding observance bill focused on commemoration and education, not regulatory change.
