Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to legal holidays; making Juneteenth Day a legal holiday in this State; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
AI Summary
This bill makes Juneteenth Day (June 19) a legal holiday in the state, rather than just a day of observance. It requires all state, county, and city offices, courts, public schools, and the Nevada System of Higher Education to close on Juneteenth Day, with the exception of certain appointed holidays. The bill also makes a conforming change to account for the potential closure of government offices on the third Monday in June when Juneteenth Day falls on that day. Additionally, the bill repeals the requirement for the Governor to annually proclaim June 19 as "Juneteenth Day" in the state.
