§ 74. Discharge on holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. Where the date of

release on parole or conditional release, or where the date of discharge

from the care or custody of the department, falls on Saturday or Sunday,

it shall be deemed to fall on the preceding Friday. Where the date of

such release or discharge falls on a legal holiday it shall be deemed to

released on a Friday, to a Thursday in any case where the incarcerated

individual will serve a period of community supervision upon release and

next day reporting requirement.
