Bill > AB2017

This bill designates "Eid al-Fitr" and "Eid al-Adha," two significant Islamic holidays, as state holidays, though they will not be observed as judicial holidays. It also allows community colleges and public schools to close on these days if their governing boards agree through a memorandum of understanding with employee representatives. Furthermore, students will be excused from school to observe these holidays, and state employees will have the option to use paid leave, such as vacation or personal holiday credit, to observe Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha on the dates their cultural or religious groups designate them. The bill also makes conforming changes to existing laws regarding state holidays and employee leave.
