provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the
Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
(d) Any employee who either is excluded from the definition of
state employee in subdivision (c) of Section 3513, or is a nonelected

holiday credit per fiscal year for the holiday. The holiday credit
shall be accrued on the actual date of the holiday and shall be used
within the same fiscal year.
(4) When a holiday other than a personal holiday falls on Sunday,

may elect to use eight hours of vacation, annual leave, or
compensating time off consistent with departmental operational needs
and collective bargaining agreements for the fourth Friday in
September, known as "Native American Day."
(f) This section shall become effective with regard to the March
31 holiday only when the Department of Human Resources notifies the
Legislature that the language contained in this section has been
agreed to by all exclusive representatives, and the Department of
Human Resources authorizes this holiday to be applied to employees
designated as excluded from the Ralph C. Dills Act (Chapter 10.3
(commencing with Section 3512), Division 4, Title 1), and the
necessary statutes are amended to reflect this change.
