PoliticsCalifornia Recognizes Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Azha as State Holidays
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2017, officially recognizing Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Azha as state holidays. The law allows state and school employees to observe these Islamic festivals using existing personal leave credits. It also permits K-12 schools and community colleges to close for Eid through local agreements. The move was welcomed by CAIR-CA as addressing Muslim students' and employees' longstanding demands.
