Changes date of "Juneteenth Day" in NJ to June 19 of each year.
This bill changes New Jersey's official Juneteenth Day holiday to be observed on June 19th each year, instead of the third Friday in June. It amends state statutes governing public holidays for state government employees and public business operations. The change aligns New Jersey's observance with the federal Juneteenth National Independence Day holiday. This affects state government offices and employees, who will observe the holiday on June 19th rather than the third Friday of June.
