  Thank you. I just wanna speak in favor of this bill. I was sitting here debating about whether I'm gonna say anything or not.

  Sponsor explains that the bill aligns the state's Juneteenth holiday with the federal June 19 date, ending a mismatch that causes confusion.

  Read what they said

  of Juneteenth, which the state decided to recognize a few years ago. We, in fact, we decided to recognize it prior to federal recognition. And so when the state decided to recognize it, we indicated that it would either be on June 19th or on the Monday or Friday closest to June 19th, so that it would, lemme rephrase that.

  Explains that state employees do not have to observe the federal holiday, so closures can fall on consecutive days.

  Read what they said

  Except, except I don't think the state employees have to recognize the federal holiday. And so we have a day where the state employees have off and then potentially the next day where banks and post offices and that are closed too. And so that's, that's where there's some confusion is usually our holidays align with the federal holidays.

So I will support this motion And talk about for brutal murder.
