Authorizes State employees to take leave for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha; requires schools to excuse student absences for these holidays.
This bill allows full-time State employees to take administrative leave days for observing Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha without affecting their leave allotment. It also mandates that school districts record student absences for these Islamic holidays as excused absences. Additionally, it ensures that such absences do not appear on transcripts or employment forms and guarantees students the opportunity to take alternate tests or exams if missed due to the holidays.
