This bill amends K.S.A. 35-107 to declare general election day in even-numbered years as a legal public holiday. The existing language that specified the observance of legal holidays starting January 1, 2006, has been deleted, allowing for a more current and relevant designation of public holidays. 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, streamlining 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 implemented promptly.
