The bill amends Section 25-3-1 of the General Laws in Chapter 25-3, which pertains to work on holidays and Sundays. It introduces new definitions, including "Holidays," which now explicitly includes Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday and Washington's Birthday, alongside existing holidays such as Sunday, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The bill removes the previous stipulation that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday only applies to state and municipal government offices, thereby expanding its recognition. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
