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 9 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:
