95TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE STORCH.
5433L.01I D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk
AN ACT
To repeal section 9.010, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to public holidays, with an emergency clause.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 9.010, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 9.010, to read as follows:
9.010. The first day of January, the third Monday of January, [the twelfth day of February,] the third Monday in February, [the eighth day of May,] the last Monday in May, the fourth day of July, the first Monday in September, the second Monday in October, the eleventh day of November, the fourth Thursday in November, and the twenty-fifth of December, are declared and established public holidays; and when any of such holidays falls upon Sunday, the Monday next following shall be considered the holiday. There shall be no holiday for state employees on the fourth Monday of October.
Section B. Because immediate action is necessary to retain a balanced Missouri state budget during economic hardship, section A of this act is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace, and safety, and is hereby declared to be an emergency act within the meaning of the constitution, and section A of this act shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and approval.
