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, streamlining the list of recognized public holidays. The updated list includes New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Election Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

Additionally, the bill repeals the previous version of K.S.A. 35-107, ensuring that the new provisions are the only reference for legal public holidays in the state. The act will take effect immediately upon its publication in the statute book, thereby updating the legal framework surrounding public holidays in Kansas.
