Bill Summary: SCR 190 (Session 2025-2026, California) — Relative to Larry Itliong Day

Note:SCR stands for Senate Concurrent Resolution. This summary focuses on the substantive intent and potential impact of SCR 190 as presented.

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill designates or recognizes a day in honor of Larry Itliong, a prominent Filipino American labor organizer and civil rights advocate known for his role in the farmworker and United Farm Workers movement.
  • The measure is informational and ceremonial in nature, aimed at acknowledging Itliong’s contributions to labor rights and the Californian and broader American labor movement.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • The core provision is a ceremonial designation related to Larry Itliong Day. The resolution likely:
    • Names a specific day or declares a period of observance in honor of Larry Itliong.
    • Encourages state and local observances, celebrations, or acknowledgments of Itliong’s legacy.
    • May request or encourage relevant state agencies, schools, and communities to observe the day with appropriate activities (e.g., educational programs, official proclamations, or community events).
  • As a concurrent resolution, it would typically express sentiment or recognition and not create new statutory obligations, spending, or regulatory requirements.

Who or What Would Be Affected

  • Legislature: The California State Legislature would adopt SCR 190, reflecting the state’s official recognition.
  • General public and communities: Schools, cultural organizations, labor groups, and municipalities may reference or participate in observing Larry Itliong Day as part of commemoration.
  • No new costs: Ceremonial resolutions usually do not authorize new appropriations or create regulatory mandates.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • SCR 190 would follow the standard process for concurrent resolutions:
    • Introduction and referral to the appropriate committees (e.g., the Senate and Assembly committees handling resolutions).
    • Committee review, potential amendments, and floor consideration in both houses.
    • Passage by a majority in both the California Senate and Assembly.
    • Enactment as a concurrent resolution, which is then forwarded to the Governor for signature or serve as a memorialization of record if the Governor does not act (though most concurrent resolutions do not require gubernatorial action).
  • Effective date: As a concurrent resolution, it typically becomes effective upon passage by both houses and any required constitutional procedures, rather than upon gubernatorial signature.

Practical Considerations and Context

  • Larry Itliong’s historical significance: Itliong was a key labor organizer, particularly in organizing farm workers and shaping the farm labor movement, often associated with the early efforts that culminated in the United Farm Workers union.
  • The bill’s purpose is largely symbolic, intended to honor his contributions and raise awareness within California about his impact on labor rights and social justice.
