Summary of Legislation: The bill establishes American Professional Football Day as a state holiday.
Effective Date: July 1, 2025.
Explanation of State Expenditures: The bill should have minimal to no impact on state expenditures. While
a majority of state business operations would be closed during the proposed American Professional Football
Day 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. [The proposed holiday would be recognized on the Monday
following the NFL championship game.]
Explanation of State Revenues:
Explanation of Local Expenditures: Local units could experience a decrease in their expenditures.
Business that would otherwise be conducted on the proposed holiday could likely be transferred to other days
of operation.
