HB 276 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 276 would designate June 19 (Juneteenth) as a legal holiday in Mississippi, adding it to the state's official list of fixed-date holidays. This change would require state government offices to close on June 19 each year, aligning with existing holidays like Independence Day and Christmas. The bill does not alter other holidays but specifically establishes Juneteenth as a day when state operations would be suspended. It directly affects state employees and public institutions that follow the legal holiday schedule.
