Senate Bill 464 would add the
third Monday in January as a legal holiday in order to celebrate the
birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. It would further add December 24th
to those non-national holidays which an employee may select as an
optional holiday.
If enacted there would be no
additional cost to the General Fund of the State. Employees would
receive compensation for a day not worked and productivity would be
lost. However, those employees in critical care positions such as guards,
medical personnel, etc., would work and receive compensation at a later
time as is currently the practice with holidays which are presently
received.
