UCA快讯 | 美国首州 ! 农历新年成加州法定假日

UCA快讯 | 美国首州 ! 农历新年成加州法定假日

加州州长纽森(Gavin Newsom) 9月29日在AB 2596 法案上签字,正式将“农历新年”(Lunar New Year Day)定为加州的法定假日。加州也成为美国首个确认”农历新年”这个重要亚太裔节日的州。 纽森州长在声明中指出,农历新年庆祝是辞旧迎新,挥别过去一年的烦恼,迎接来年的昌盛和好运。承认农历新年为加州法定假日,具有包容加州多样性和文化的重大意义。纽森也强调,这一法案让加州人有机会参与到庆祝亚太裔最重要的节日。 法案承认农历新年为加州的法定假日,并为州雇员提供带薪假期。该法案授权所有加州雇员可利用8小时的假期、年假或补偿休假来代替获得8小时的个人假期积分以庆祝农历新年。 此法案的主要撰写者罗达伦(Evan Low)感谢州长签署通过这项法案。他之前表示,加州拥有美国最大的亚太裔人口,农历新年是美国人口增长最快的亚太裔文化的庆祝活动。”承认农历新年为法定假日对数百万加州人来说意义重大。 AB 2596法案由加州30名两党立法者共同撰写,还包括陈立德(Philip Chen)、崔锡浩(Steven Choi)、方树强(Mike Fong)、李天明(Alex Lee)、阮珍妮(Janet Nguyen)等两党的立法者。法案承认农历新年为加州的法定假日,并为州雇员提供带薪假期。 经过UCA及其伙伴组织的共同努力和磋商,代表纽约州的联邦众议员孟昭文(Grace Meng)曾在今年1月底宣布提出新法案,希望将农历新年设为联邦假日。目前该提案进展不大。UCA将在下一届国会竭尽所能,联合华人和亚裔力量,争取让联邦政府以法定形式尽早通过纪念春节的任何提案。 UCA会长薛海培表示,加州从一百多年前带头设立了许许多多的排华法案,到今天在全美带头设立春节为法定假日,这是一个历史性的转变!是一个值得华人和亚裔社区可歌可庆的一天!UCA将一如既往,加大力度,在有条件的各州同当地亚裔社区和组织一道推动纪念春节的各项立法努力! ...
