HB 659 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Provides that Veterans Day shall be a public holiday for all employees of the University of Missouri System

HB 659 designates November 11th (Veterans Day) as a paid public holiday for all employees of the University of Missouri System. If November 11th falls on a weekend, the following Monday becomes the holiday. The bill amends Missouri law (RSMo § 172.345) to require this observance for all UM System employees, aligning their holiday schedule with the national Veterans Day date. This change directly affects University of Missouri System staff, providing them with a recognized holiday without altering other state employee benefits.
