Makes election day a state holiday
HB 3399 would make Election Day a state holiday for state employees by designating the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November during even-numbered years as a public holiday. This adds Election Day to the state's existing list of public holidays, which currently includes dates like Christmas and Independence Day. The bill also clarifies that if Election Day falls on a Sunday, the following Monday would be observed as the holiday, and it reaffirms that the fourth Monday of October remains a non-holiday for state employees. The legislation does not change private-sector work requirements or voting procedures.
