Key provisions and changes

    • Custodial workers throughout the state, whose contributions would be publicly recognized.
    • The general public and organizations employing custodial staff, which may include schools, hospitals, government facilities, and private employers.
  • Practical impact:
    • The bill does not create new duties, funding, or regulatory requirements; it establishes a formal day of recognition and a ceremonial intent for the Governor’s proclamation.
