Creates a new state holiday for election day and requires colleges and universities to close unless used as a polling place

HB 358 designates the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November during even-numbered years as a new state holiday for Election Day. This change directly affects state employees, who would receive the day off, and all public and private colleges and universities within the state. The bill requires these institutions to close on Election Day unless they are designated as official polling places. This policy aims to ensure accessibility for voters by making Election Day a universal holiday while allowing campuses to remain open if serving as polling locations.
