Juneteenth state holiday
This bill designates June 19, the day on which Juneteenth is celebrated, as a state holiday on which state offices are closed. Under current law, the offices of the agencies of state government are generally closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and a total of nine state holidays. This bill also increases the number of regular paid holidays state employees receive annually from nine days to ten days. The bill also requires the administrator of the Division of Personnel Management in DOA to include June 19 as a paid holiday for UW System employees in the proposal it submits to the Joint Committee on Employee Relations for compensation plan changes for the 2021-23 biennium.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
