1999 - 2000 LEGISLATURE

1999 Assembly BILL 10

January 14, 1999 - Introduced by Representatives Schneider, Turner, Boyle and Ryba, cosponsored by Senators Wirch and Breske. Referred to Committee on Government Operations.

AB10,1,2 An Act to amend 230.35 (4) (c); and to create 230.35 (4) (a) 5m. and 230.35 (4) (a) 11. of the statutes; relating to: state government holidays.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, nonrepresented state employes receive a total of nine 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 nine to ten days. Represented state 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.
