California lawmakers have officially declared Sept. 25 "Dolly Parton Day" in the state, honoring the late country music legend following her recent death. The date is a reference to her hit song "9 to 5." Senate Bill 931, authored by state Sens. Shannon Grove and John Laird, establishes the annual tribute. Laird highlighted Parton's Imagination Library literacy program, which serves over 182,000 California children, and her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. The declaration comes as fans mourn Parton, whose Hollywood Walk of Fame star was recently damaged and repaired. Parton received her first star in 1984 and a second in 2018.
