Fish opener establishment as a state holiday
This bill designates the state fishing opener as an official state holiday in Minnesota, affecting public employees and government operations. It amends existing state statutes to add the fishing opener to the list of recognized holidays when no public business is conducted, while maintaining flexibility for local governments to decide on Indigenous Peoples Day and the Friday after Thanksgiving. The legislation also updates labor agreements to reflect the correct dates for Veterans Day and replaces references to Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day.
