Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 135 of the Code of Civil Procedure, to amend Sections 37220.7, 45203, 48205, 79020, and 88203 of the Education Code, and to amend Sections 6700, 19853, and 19853.1 of the Government Code, relating to state holidays.

AI Summary

This bill designates "Eid al-Fitr" and "Eid al-Adha," two significant Islamic holidays, as state holidays, though they will not be considered judicial holidays. It also allows community colleges and public schools to close on these days, and requires that students be excused from school for observing these holidays, with the understanding that any additional costs incurred by school officials due to these mandates will be reimbursed by the state. Furthermore, state employees will have the option to use vacation time or other paid leave for these Eid holidays, similar to how they can for other recognized holidays.
