HB 104 Utah House · 2026 General Session

State Holiday Amendments

HB 104 creates a new state holiday called "Election Day" observed on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. This amendment adds Election Day to Utah's official list of legal holidays, which currently includes dates like Pioneer Day and Thanksgiving. The bill directly affects state employees and businesses operating under state holiday regulations, requiring them to observe this new holiday. It makes a technical update to Utah Code Section 63G-1-301 without changing existing holidays or appropriating funds.
