1997 - 1998 LEGISLATURE

1997 Assembly BILL 374

May 22, 1997 - Introduced by Representatives Schneider and Ryba. Referred to Committee on Mandates.

AB374,1,4 An Act to amend 230.35 (4) (a) 10. and 230.35 (4) (c); and to create 230.35 (4) (a) 5m. of the statutes; relating to: establishing November 11 as a day on which the offices of the agencies of state government are closed and increasing the number of paid holidays for state employes.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the offices of the agencies of state government are generally closed on Saturdays, Sundays and a total of 9 state holidays. Under current law, nonrepresented state employes receive a total of 9 paid holidays annually, while represented employes receive only the paid holidays provided for in their collective bargaining agreements. This bill provides that November 11 (the day on which Veteran's Day is traditionally celebrated) is a day on which the offices of the agencies of state government are closed. In addition, the bill increases the number of paid holidays for nonrepresented state employes from 9 to 10 days. Represented employes continue to have the paid holidays provided for in their collective bargaining agreements.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
