Labor & Employment (Labor Standards)

This bill removes State General Election Day as a paid holiday for legislative employees while introducing a new annual floating holiday for qualified staff. The floating holiday allows eligible legislative employees to take one paid day off anytime during the year, subject to supervisor approval and scheduling. The legislation also clarifies definitions for various employee categories and holiday observances within the legislative branch. These changes directly affect legislative employees and modify how holidays are administered under Montana state law.
