Relative to Landscapers Appreciation Day.

California Senate Resolution 132 (SR132), titled 'Relative to Landscapers Appreciation Day,' was introduced by Senator Maria Durazo and adopted by the Senate on August 13, 2026, with a unanimous vote of 36-0. This resolution designates a specific day to honor and recognize the contributions of landscapers to the state's environment and economy. While the resolution does not create new laws or regulations, it serves as a formal acknowledgment of the importance of landscapers in California.

Media coverage of SR132 has been favorable, highlighting the state's recognition of landscapers' vital role in maintaining California's natural beauty and supporting its economy. Articles have emphasized the bipartisan support for the resolution and the significance of acknowledging the hard work and dedication of landscaping professionals.

Some media outlets have critiqued SR132, suggesting that while symbolic gestures are appreciated, more substantive actions are needed to address the challenges faced by landscapers, such as fair wages, safe working conditions, and access to benefits. Critics argue that the resolution, though well-intentioned, falls short of implementing tangible improvements for workers in the landscaping industry.
