State holiday; if holiday falls on a Tuesday, then the day before such Tuesday shall also be a holiday.

HB 478 amends Mississippi's legal holiday schedule to create an extra holiday day when existing legal holidays fall on a Tuesday. Specifically, if a holiday listed in the law (like Independence Day or Christmas) lands on a Tuesday, the preceding Monday automatically becomes a legal holiday. This adjustment affects state employees, public services, and businesses operating under state holiday schedules. The change applies only to holidays already designated as legal in Mississippi law and does not create new holidays.
