AN ACT relating to public holidays.
HB 396 removes January 29 (Robert E. Lee Day and Franklin D. Roosevelt Day) and June 3 (Confederate Memorial Day and Jefferson Davis Day) from Kentucky's official list of public holidays. This means public offices in Kentucky would no longer be permitted to close on those specific dates under state law. The bill amends Kentucky Revised Statute 2.110 to delete these two dates from the statutory holiday list. The change affects state government operations by eliminating two days when offices could legally close. No new holidays are added or existing holidays altered beyond these specific deletions.
