Designates September 11th as a public holiday
This bill designates September 11th as a new public holiday called "September 11th Memorial and Remembrance Day." It adds this date to the state's official list of public holidays, which includes days like Independence Day and Christmas. The change affects state employees and institutions that observe public holidays, requiring them to close on September 11th each year. The bill amends the General Construction Law to include this holiday between Labor Day and Columbus Day in the annual schedule.
