An Act relating to legal holidays.
HB 8 limits Alaska's legal holidays to a maximum of 12 per calendar year, overriding previous provisions that allowed for more. This directly affects the Alaska legislature, which establishes these holidays, by restricting its ability to add new ones beyond the 12-year cap. The bill adds a specific provision to state law stating that holidays established under sections (a)(13) and (14) of the existing law do not count toward this 12-holiday limit. The change is purely procedural, setting a clear numerical constraint on holiday additions without creating new holidays or altering existing ones.
