This bill proposes to eliminate the designation of State General Election Day as a holiday for legislative employees while introducing an annual floating holiday for qualified legislative employees. It amends existing definitions and provisions related to holidays in the Montana Code Annotated (MCA), specifically in sections 2-18-601 and 2-18-603. The bill clarifies that a "floating holiday" will be available to full-time and part-time employees of the legislative branch, with specific guidelines on how it is to be calculated and utilized.

Key amendments include the addition of provisions that define the floating holiday for legislative employees, ensuring that it aligns with the existing framework for other state employees. The bill specifies that unused floating holiday leave will expire at the end of each calendar year and will not be paid out upon termination of employment. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
