Bill > SB0193

This bill, effective May 6, 2026, requires school districts, charter schools, and institutions of higher education in Utah to prioritize scheduling school breaks to coincide with Good Friday and other state holy days, as defined in Section 63G-1-1101, starting with the 2027-28 school year. It also amends the list of legal holidays to include Good Friday as a holiday, though state employees observing Good Friday will receive four hours of paid time off instead of the standard eight hours. Additionally, state and local government entities must give high priority to approving employee requests for personal leave on any state holy day.
