Bill > SB87

This bill modifies holiday provisions for legislative employees by eliminating the State General Election Day as a holiday and creating an annual floating holiday for qualified legislative employees. Specifically, the bill updates definitions in state law to clarify what constitutes a "holiday" and a "floating holiday" for legislative branch employees. It establishes that each full-time and part-time employee of a consolidated legislative branch entity will be entitled to one floating holiday per calendar year, which must be used within the same calendar year and will not be paid out upon termination of employment. The floating holiday is proportionally calculated for part-time employees, and short-term workers and student interns are not eligible to receive this benefit. The bill also makes technical changes to how holidays are defined and observed, ensuring that legislative employees have consistent holiday policies. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing a clear timeline for implementation of these updated employment provisions.
