Bill > SB409

This bill amends the New Mexico State Annotated (NMSA) legal code to establish the second Monday in February as a new public holiday called "Football Monday". Specifically, the bill modifies Section 12-5-2, which lists the state's legal public holidays, by inserting "Football Monday" as a new holiday between Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and President's Day. The bill uses standard legislative language to renumber the subsequent holidays in the list, shifting each existing holiday letter designation down one position to accommodate the new holiday. The addition of "Football Monday" means state government offices, schools, and potentially other public institutions would be closed on the second Monday in February, providing a new official day of recognition. While the bill does not elaborate on the specific purpose or meaning of "Football Monday", it follows the standard format of other holiday designations in the state's legal code.
