AZ SB1800

Establishes January 30 of each year as Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution in Arizona.

Designates the day to commemorate Fred T. Korematsu's resistance to Executive Order 9066 and his lifelong advocacy for civil liberties and equal justice.

Notes that approximately 31,000 Japanese Americans were interned in two major camps in Arizona during World War II (Colorado River Relocation Center near Poston and Gila River Relocation Center in Pinal County).

Recognizes that Korematsu's 1944 Supreme Court conviction was overturned in 1983 after evidence emerged that the government had withheld military intelligence reports.

Specifies that Fred Korematsu Day is not a legal holiday.
