***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
AN ACT to amend 230.35 (4) (a) 10., 230.35 (4) (c) and 230.35 (4) (d) (intro.); and
to create 230.35 (4) (a) 5m. of the statutes; relating to: the establishment of
November 11 as a day on which the offices of the agencies of state government
are closed.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill designates November 11, the day on which Veterans Day is
traditionally celebrated, as a state holiday on which state offices are closed. Under
current law, the offices of the agencies of state government are generally closed on
Saturdays, Sundays, and a total of nine state holidays. The bill also increases the
number of regular paid holidays state employees receive annually from nine days to
10 days and eliminates the personal floating holiday provided to state employees in
recognition of Veterans Day.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
SECTION 1. 230.35 (4) (a) 5m. of the statutes is created to read:
230.35 (4) (a) 5m. November 11.
