STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 12936
This legislation would recognize April 30 as Children s Day/El Dia de
los Ninos in Idaho. It would not be a legal holiday but would have
status similar to Mother s Day and Father s Day. Idaho presently has
no designated day recognizing the value and importance of children.
Children s Day has been a tradition in many communities in the
southwestern part of the United States. It has been observed by some
Idaho communities.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the state general fund.
