This bill would make June 19th, known as Juneteenth National Freedom Day, an official Kentucky state holiday, and would designate the period from June 19th through July 4th as "Civic Season" in the Commonwealth. The emergency designation means it would take effect immediately upon signing rather than waiting for a standard effective date. Who it may affect: all Kentuckians, particularly state employees and others whose schedules or pay are governed by official state holiday designations.
