Bill Summary

AN ACT ENTITLED "An Act establishing Juneteenth Day as a legal holiday."

AI Summary

This bill establishes Juneteenth Day, which is June 19th, as a legal holiday in the state of Alaska. It amends the existing law on legal holidays to include Juneteenth Day as the 6th holiday, and makes corresponding changes to the provisions related to holidays falling on Sundays. The bill also repeals the existing section on paid holidays for state employees, likely to accommodate the addition of Juneteenth Day as a new legal holiday.
