Designates March eighth as a public holiday
This bill (A 7370) designates March 8 as "Women's Day" in New York State, adding it to the official list of public holidays under the General Construction Law. It directly affects state employees and businesses that observe public holidays, requiring them to close or provide paid time off on March 8. The key provision amends Section 24 of the law to explicitly include "the eighth day of March, known as Women's day" alongside existing holidays like New Year's Day and Independence Day. The change would take effect immediately upon enactment.
