Nevada won't take Friday off for new Juneteenth holiday

"Nevada state law does not allow the Governor to unilaterally have this new Federal holiday observed on a weekday when it falls on a weekend date, therefore Juneteenth will not be observed as a statewide holiday Friday," according to the governor's office.  "However, the Governor does look forward to working with state lawmakers to celebrate and observe Juneteenth as a weekday statewide holiday going forward. 

His office said local governments and agencies should refer to their own local ordinances to determine whether they have authority to declare holidays and/or office closures.
