Definitions and general provisions; holidays; election day; effective date.

This bill standardizes Oklahoma's holiday schedule by listing specific dates for holidays like New Year's Day, Independence Day, and Election Day, with automatic adjustments for weekends (e.g., if a holiday falls on a Saturday, the prior Friday becomes the holiday). It requires the Governor to issue annual executive orders specifying which holidays apply each year, including Election Day as a state holiday. State employees (excluding temporary staff) receive paid time off for designated holidays, with options for compensatory time or payment if working. The bill clarifies that government offices must close on these holidays, except for essential services, and defines "holiday" for state operations.
