The bill proposes to repeal section 9.010 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and replace it with two new sections, 9.010 and 173.015. The revised section 9.010 establishes a list of public holidays, which now includes the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years, recognizing Election Day as a public holiday. This addition aims to ensure that citizens have the opportunity to participate in elections without the hindrance of work obligations. Additionally, the bill clarifies that if any of the designated holidays fall on a Sunday, the following Monday will be observed as the holiday. It also specifies that there will be no holiday for state employees on the fourth Monday of October. The introduction of section 173.015 does not provide any specific content in the text, indicating it may serve as a placeholder for future provisions or regulations related to election day.
