Assembly Bill 643 proposes to establish November 11 as a state holiday, coinciding with Veterans Day, during which state government offices will be closed. This addition will increase the total number of paid holidays for state employees from nine to ten annually. The bill also removes the personal floating holiday that was previously granted to state employees in recognition of Veterans Day.

In terms of legal amendments, the bill creates a new statute, 230.35 (4) (a) 5m., to officially recognize November 11 as a holiday. It amends existing statutes to reflect the increase in paid holidays from nine to ten and eliminates the provision for an additional personal holiday specifically for Veterans Day. The changes will take effect on January 1 following the bill's publication.
