Bill > HB8

This bill amends Alaska Statute 44.12.010 by adding a new subsection that limits the number of legal holidays the legislature can establish in a calendar year to 12, regardless of any other existing legal holidays. The provision appears to be designed to cap the total number of state-recognized holidays, potentially preventing future expansion of holiday observances beyond this limit. This restriction would apply even if the legislature attempts to add new holidays beyond the existing 12 currently established in the statute's subsections (a)(13) and (14). The bill aims to provide a clear constraint on the creation of additional legal holidays in Alaska, which could have implications for state operations, government services, and employee schedules.
