Establishes Vaisakhi and Bandi Chhor Divas as public holidays in this State.
This bill would establish Vaisakhi and Bandi Chhor Divas as official public holidays in New Jersey, adding them to the state's list of days when government offices close. Vaisakhi is a spring festival celebrated by the Sikh community, and Bandi Chhor Divas commemorates the release of a Sikh Guru. The bill amends state laws to include these holidays, affecting state government operations and the scheduling of business transactions, such as when bills and checks are due. This change would apply to state employees and the legal/business calendar but does not create new paid leave for private-sector workers.
