Declaring the even-numbered year general election day as a legal public holiday.
HB 2190 adds "Election Day, the Tuesday following the first Monday in even-numbered years" to Kansas's list of legal public holidays under K.S.A. 35-107. This change directly affects all Kansas residents and workers, making election day a paid holiday for state employees and likely influencing private sector operations. The bill amends the existing holiday statute to include this date, replacing the previous reference to election day, and repeals the old section. It does not alter voting procedures or eligibility but formally designates the day as a public holiday. The law would take effect upon publication in the statute book.
