A 6892 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Designates the second Monday in July each year as a public holiday, to be known as Abolition Commemoration day

This bill adds "Abolition Commemoration Day" as a new public holiday observed on the second Monday in July each year. It directly affects state employees and government operations by designating this day as a holiday, similar to existing days like Juneteenth or Independence Day. The bill amends the general construction law to include this date in the official list of public holidays, which governs state business closures and employee schedules. The change is procedural, simply naming and scheduling the holiday without altering other policies.
