Cal. Education Code § 89005.7

Notwithstanding any other law: (a) (1) Each campus of the California State University shall observe November 11, known as Veterans Day, as a holiday, and shall be closed on that day. (2) When November 11 falls on a Sunday, each campus of the California State University shall observe the following Monday as the Veterans Day holiday. When November 11 falls on a Saturday, each campus of the California State University shall observe the preceding Friday as the Veterans Day holiday. (b) (1) Each campus of the California State University may observe the date corresponding with the second new moon following the winter solstice, or the third new moon following the winter solstice should an intercalary month intervene, known as “Lunar New Year,” as a holiday, and be closed on that day. The campus may replace observing another prescribed holiday with observing Lunar New Year as a holiday. If the campus observes the Lunar New Year holiday and Lunar New Year falls on another prescribed holiday that is not being replaced by the Lunar New Year holiday, the campus shall observe the preceding or following weekday as the Lunar New Year holiday. (2) If a campus of the California State University observes the Lunar New Year holiday pursuant to paragraph (1), employees of the campus shall be entitled to a paid holiday on that day if they are in a paid status during any portion of the working day immediately preceding or succeeding the Lunar New Year holiday. (3) If this subdivision conflicts with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 3560) of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if those provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
