The Chilean Chamber of Deputies has declared admissible, by a vote of 59 votes for, 38 against and 7 abstentions, a bill presented by the president of the House Labor Commission, Gabriel Silber (DC), that seeks to declare as an inalienable holiday on Friday, September 17, 2021.
The rule was eventually formalized into a bill introduced by Chilean member of Parliament, Ricardo Rincón (DC), to further extend the September "Fiestas Patrias" annual non-working public holidays in Chile by making September 17 a non-working public holiday when both the 18th and 19th fall on a weekend (2012-11-15 and 2012-10-26).
The September Chilean public holidays are addressed by multiple pieces of legislation, each covering a special case of the 2-day holidays falling on a different weekday (2019-07-31, 2018-07-21, 2016-12-30).
Recall that the upcoming celebración de las Fiestas Patrias 2022 will encompass 3 consecutive days of non-working public holidays in Chile, from September 17 to September 19, 2021, inclusively (2021-08-25).
