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. The bill also increases the
number of regular paid holidays state employees receive annually from nine days to
10 days and eliminates the personal floating holiday provided to state employees in
recognition of Veterans Day.
