What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill designates November 11, the day on which Veterans Day is

traditionally celebrated, as a state holiday on which state offices are closed. Under

current law, the offices of the agencies of state government are generally closed on

Saturdays, Sundays, and a total of nine state holidays. This bill also increases the

number of regular paid holidays state employees receive annually from nine days to

ten days and eliminates the personal floating holiday provided to state employees in

recognition of Veterans Day.
