Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
