South Dakota adds June 19th (Juneteenth) to its list of official state holidays. State employees and many businesses will observe this day as a paid holiday, similar to Independence Day and other recognized holidays. The bill simply inserts Juneteenth into the existing state holiday statute without changing any other holiday observances.
