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 per calendar year for each holiday, in addition to the standard three days of administrative leave for personal reasons. This provision ensures that employees can observe these significant religious holidays without it affecting their leave balance.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that public school students who are absent due to the observance of Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha will have their absences recorded as excused. It stipulates that such absences will not be reflected on transcripts or other attendance records, ensuring that students are not penalized academically for their observance of these holidays. Additionally, if a student provides a written excuse from a parent or guardian, they will retain eligibility for awards and the opportunity to take alternate tests or examinations missed due to their absence.
