Fiscal Note
Status:
The fiscal note reflects the introduced bill.
Summary of Legislation
The bill creates a new state holiday for Juneteenth, to be observed June 19 each year.
Background and Assumptions
The fiscal note assumes that adding a state holiday does not directly affect the salaries of any state
employee and that the any adjustments to state workflow will be minor. The fiscal note further
assumes that state agencies will offer an alternate holiday to employees who are required to work on
Juneteenth, and that the bill will take effect before Juneteenth, 2022.
State Expenditures
The bill increases workload in state agencies to updates policies and payroll systems in the current
FY 2021-22. To the extent that state operations must take place on the holiday, expenditures may
increase to pay for additional staff hours or overtime. Based on the assumptions above, any increase
in expenditures is expected to be minimal and will be addressed through the annual budget process,
as necessary. Page 2

Local Government
If a county, municipality, school district, or other local government follows the state’s holiday
schedule, workload will increase, and expenditures may increase, to manage and change schedules
and payroll to account for the new holiday.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect upon signature of the Governor, or upon becoming law without his signature.
