FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
LS 6004 NOTE PREPARED: Sep 8, 2023
BILL NUMBER: HB 1018 BILL AMENDED:
SUBJECT: Designation of Juneteenth as State Holiday.
FIRST AUTHOR: Rep. Smith V BILL STATUS: As Introduced

Summary of Legislation: The bill establishes Juneteenth as a state holiday. It makes conforming changes.
Effective Date: Upon passage.
Explanation of State Expenditures: The bill’s impact on state expenditures is indeterminate. While a
majority of state business operations would be closed during the proposed Juneteenth holiday, the day’s
professional business, in most cases, could likely be shifted to other days of operation.
Like other state holidays, state employees receive compensation for the day. However, state expenditures
would not experience a substantial increase, as state employees would receive compensation for the day
whether it fell on a regular workday or a holiday.
Additional Information: Compensation varies based on whether the state employee is exempt or non-exempt.
Most state employees are considered exempt. Non-exempt employees who are required to work on days
designated as state holidays may choose to receive compensatory time or monetary payment. If compensatory
time is chosen, compensatory time is paid at a straight rate. A premium rate would only apply if the non-
exempt employee had already worked in excess of 40 hours. A premium rate is calculated at time and a half.
For compensatory premium time, non-exempt employees earn 90 minutes of compensatory time for each
hour worked in excess of 40 per calendar week. If non-exempt employees do not used their compensatory
time by the end of the current quarter, it must be paid out.
There are about 22,000 non-exempt employees working for the State. During Independence Day, about 900
non-exempt employees worked with six non-exempt employees receiving premium pay. For this holiday,
HB 1018 1 these employees chose compensatory time in lieu of monetary payment.
Explanation of State Revenues:
Explanation of Local Expenditures: Local units could experience a decrease in their expenditures.
Business that would otherwise be conducted on Juneteenth could likely be transferred to other days of
operation.
Explanation of Local Revenues:
State Agencies Affected: All.
Local Agencies Affected: All.
