AN ACT relating to state holidays.
HB 126 adds June 19 as a state holiday in Kentucky, officially named "Juneteenth National Freedom Day," to commemorate the end of slavery in the U.S. This change directly affects Kentucky state offices and employees, requiring them to close on this date. The bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute 2.110 by inserting June 19 into the list of designated state holidays, alongside existing holidays like Independence Day and Christmas. It does not alter existing holiday observances or create new government obligations beyond the closure requirement.
