Gov. Mike Parson has signed an executive order on Thursday to close state offices on Nov. 29, the day after Thanksgiving.

Parson has issued executive orders in past years that close state offices the day after the holiday.

"Today, I signed Executive Order 24-15 closing state offices on Friday, November 29, 2024, the day after the Thanksgiving Day holiday. Every year, our administration has directed this additional day off. As Teresa and I prepare to leave office and spend more time with our own family and friends, we understand the importance and joy for all of you in doing the same over the holiday weekend,” Parson said in a Thursday press release.
