This bill modifies the day on which Juneteenth National Freedom Day is recognized in Utah.

AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
Under current Utah law, Juneteenth National Freedom Day (June 19) had its own rules about which day to observe it — for example, if June 19 fell on a Tuesday through Friday, the preceding Monday was treated as the legal holiday. This bill removes those special rules and instead aligns Utah's observance of Juneteenth with however the federal government observes it, which follows the standard rule of shifting to the preceding Friday if the date falls on a Saturday, or the following Monday if it falls on a Sunday. The bill also updates court-ordered holiday parent-time schedules to set fixed time windows around June 18–20 for the Juneteenth holiday, with adjustments depending on whether Father's Day falls on June 19 or 20.
