Relating to Nowruz Day; and declaring an emergency.

HB 3768 designates March 21 of every year as Nowruz Day in Oregon, officially recognizing the Persian New Year rooted in Zoroastrian traditions and celebrated by immigrant communities. The bill acknowledges Nowruz's symbolism of renewal and unity, referencing its UNESCO-recognized status as International Nowruz Day. It includes a procedural emergency declaration to allow immediate implementation upon passage, though the bill itself creates no new legal requirements or financial obligations. This recognition directly affects Oregon residents, particularly those from Iranian or Persian cultural backgrounds, who observe Nowruz through traditions like the Haft-seen table.
