Illinois HB3790 designates the Lunar New Year as a state holiday and updates various state codes to reflect this change.
HB3790 amends the State Commemorative Dates Act to establish the Lunar New Year as a state holiday, observed on the date corresponding with the second new moon following the winter solstice. If this date falls on a weekend, the holiday is observed on the following Monday. The bill also updates the Election Code, Illinois Procurement Code, School Code, and Promissory Note and Bank Holiday Act to recognize the Lunar New Year as a holiday. This includes provisions for school boards to include instruction about the Lunar New Year and for banks to potentially remain closed on this holiday.
