BILL #    SB 1802	TITLE: Dine'; indigenous code talkers; holiday NOW: holiday; code talkers day
SPONSOR:    Peshlakai	STATUS: As Amended by Senate COW
PREPARED BY:    Rebecca Perrera

Description

SB 1802 establishes August 14 as National Dine’, Hopi and Indigenous Code Talkers Day.  It establishes the day as a legal holiday, except that if August 14 falls on any day other than Sunday, the following Sunday is observed as the holiday.

Estimated Impact

We estimate that there is no fiscal impact associated with the bill.

Analysis

Public offices and courts of justice cannot open on a legal holiday, including Sunday.  Because the bill establishes National Dine’, Hopi and Indigenous Code Talkers Day on August 14 but observes the holiday on Sundays, we estimate there is no fiscal impact associated with the new holiday.

Local Government Impact

None
