Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires all state agencies to designate March 31 as "Cesar E. Chavez
Day" in observance of the birthday of Cesar E. Chavez. Under the bill, if March 31
falls on a day on which the offices of a state agency are open, the appointing authority
of the state agency is required to permit any employee of the state agency to receive
that day as a paid holiday in lieu of receiving a paid holiday on one of the other paid
holidays provided to state employees. The bill also provides that the appointing
authority may permit an employee to receive March 31 as a paid holiday only if the
operations of the state agency are maintained at least at a minimum level.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
