Juneteenth National Independence Day; designate as a legal holiday in the State of Mississippi.

HB 352 designates June 19 (Juneteenth National Independence Day) as a legal holiday in Mississippi, adding it to the state's list of recognized holidays under Section 3-3-7 of the Mississippi Code. This change directly affects state government operations, public schools, and many businesses, requiring them to close on June 19 unless it falls on a weekend, in which case the following Monday becomes the observed holiday. The bill also clarifies existing rules for celebrating holidays that fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Mississippi would join 47 other states and the District of Columbia that have established Juneteenth as a public holiday.
