HB 3595 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to the Lunar New Year.

HB 3595 establishes the Lunar New Year as an official state holiday in Oregon, recognized on its actual date each year (determined by the lunar calendar). This bill directly affects Oregon residents, public and private sector employees, and businesses, as it adds the Lunar New Year to the state's list of designated legal holidays. The legislation amends Oregon Revised Statutes 187.010 to include the holiday date ("the day of the Lunar New Year on the date corresponding with the second new moon following the winter solstice"), aligning it with existing holiday rules for scheduling and observance. It does not change existing holiday pay or collective bargaining terms, as specified in the bill's provisions.
