An Act designating Diwali Day as a state holiday

This bill would require the governor to annually proclaim the 15th day of the Hindu lunisolar month of Kartik (Diwali Day) as a state holiday. It establishes this date as an official observance for state employees and institutions, though it does not mandate closures or paid time off. The bill directly affects state operations by adding Diwali Day to the official holiday calendar. It focuses on formal recognition through the governor's annual proclamation, without altering existing holiday policies.
