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.
