Bill > HB1251

This bill prohibits schools in North Dakota from conducting any extracurricular activities on specific holidays considered "family days," which include New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (July 4th), Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and Easter Sunday. The bill defines these holidays according to existing state code and encompasses a wide range of activities, such as practices, games, performances, competitions, meetings, or events, whether they are mandatory or optional for students. By creating a new section in the North Dakota Century Code related to educational regulations, the bill aims to ensure that these particular days remain free from school-related extracurricular commitments, potentially allowing families more uninterrupted time together during these holidays. The proposed legislation represents a specific effort to prioritize family time by limiting school-related activities on traditionally significant family and religious holidays.
