Bill Summary
For legislation to establish Chinese New Year as a legal holiday. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish the Chinese New Year as a legal holiday in Massachusetts. It amends the state's General Laws to designate the Chinese New Year as a holiday on specific dates each year, such as February 8, 2016, and an annual date thereafter to be determined by the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in New York. The bill also exempts the Chinese New Year from certain restrictions that apply to other legal holidays, providing that work on that day shall be voluntary, except for healthcare and public safety personnel, and that refusal to work shall not be grounds for discrimination or other penalties.
