LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2883, as amended, Low.
California State University: University of California: Lunar New Year holiday.
Existing law designates specific days as holidays in this state, including the date corresponding with the 2nd new moon following the winter solstice, or the 3rd new moon following the winter solstice should an intercalary month intervene, known as “Lunar New Year.”
The Donahoe Higher Education Act sets forth the missions and functions of California’s public segments of higher education and their respective institutions of higher education. The California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, are 2 of the segments. Existing law authorizes the Trustees of the California State University to provide, by rule, for the holidays to be observed by their appointees and employees. Provisions
of the act apply to the University of California only to the extent that the Regents of the University of California act, by appropriate resolution, to make them applicable.
This bill would require authorize each campus of the California State University, and would request each campus of the University of California, California to be authorized, to observe Lunar New Year as a holiday and to be closed on that day, and when Lunar New Year falls on another holiday,
to replace observing and closing on another prescribed holiday with observing Lunar New Year as a holiday. The bill would require a campus of the California State University, and request a campus of the University of California, if the campus observes the Lunar New Year holiday and Lunar New Year falls on another prescribed holiday that is not being replaced with the Lunar New Year holiday, to observe the Lunar New Year holiday on a the preceding or following weekday. The bill would provide that
if a campus observes the Lunar New Year holiday, employees of each campus of the California State University are entitled to, and that employees of each campus of the University of California are requested to be entitled to, a paid holiday on Lunar New Year that day if they are in a paid status during any portion of the working day immediately preceding or succeeding the Lunar New Year holiday.
