Changes date of "Juneteenth Day" in NJ to June 19 of each year.
This bill changes New Jersey's observance of Juneteenth Day from the third Friday in June to June 19th each year. It directly affects state government employees and businesses operating under New Jersey's public holiday schedule, aligning the state holiday with the federal Juneteenth National Independence Day. The bill amends two existing laws (P.L.2008, c.89 and R.S.36:1-1) to replace the current "third Friday in June" with "June 19" in the list of official state holidays. This change ensures New Jersey's state holiday matches the federal date without altering other holiday provisions.
