The bill amends the Legal Holiday Law of Pennsylvania, originally enacted on May 31, 1893, by updating the list of designated legal holidays. Notably, it removes Columbus Day from the list of recognized holidays, which previously included the second Monday in October as Columbus Day. The bill retains other holidays such as New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, and Thanksgiving, among others, while also maintaining provisions for half holidays on Saturdays after noon.

Additionally, the bill includes a repeal of the act from August 13, 1963, which specifically provided for the observance of Columbus Day. This repeal is deemed necessary to implement the amendments made to Section 1 of the Legal Holiday Law. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
