Bill > HB0309

This bill amends Utah law to officially recognize June 19th as Juneteenth National Freedom Day, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, by adding it to the list of legal holidays in Utah. It also modifies how Juneteenth is handled within the state's legal framework, specifically by removing previous provisions that dictated how the holiday's observance would shift if it fell on certain days of the week or coincided with Father's Day, and instead integrates it into the standard legal holiday structure. The bill also makes conforming changes to the holiday schedule for parent-time (custody arrangements) to reflect the new fixed date for Juneteenth.
