This bill amends K.S.A. 35-107 to declare the even-numbered year general election day as a legal public holiday. The existing language that specified the observance of legal holidays starting January 1, 2006, has been deleted, allowing for the inclusion of the even-numbered year general election day without the previous date restriction. The list of legal public holidays now includes Election Day, which is defined as the Tuesday following the first Monday in even-numbered years.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 35-107, effectively updating the legal framework surrounding public holidays in Kansas. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book, ensuring that the new designation of Election Day as a legal public holiday is recognized moving forward.
