Fiscal Detail and Notes
Establishing new state holidays means that state departments and agencies that require staffing 24 hours a day will need to give employees time off on other days or pay overtime for work on the new state holidays. Assuming that other time off can be arranged, any costs will be minor and can be absorbed within existing resources.
