This bill amends current law to allow full-time State employees to take additional administrative leave days for the observance of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Specifically, it grants one extra day of administrative leave for each holiday, meaning that employees can take up to five days of leave per calendar year without it counting against their standard leave allotment. The bill also establishes that absences from work for these religious observances will not affect the employee's administrative leave balance.

In addition to provisions for State employees, the bill mandates that public school districts must record absences for students observing Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as excused absences. It ensures that these absences will not be reflected negatively on students' attendance records, transcripts, or applications. Furthermore, students who miss school for these holidays will not lose eligibility for awards or opportunities to take alternate tests, provided they submit a written excuse from a parent or guardian. Overall, the bill aims to recognize and accommodate the religious practices of Muslim students and employees in New Jersey.
