The bill proposes to establish Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays in Washington. To implement this, it amends RCW 1.16.050 by adding two new holidays: Eid al-Fitr, which falls on the first day of the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, and Eid al-Adha, which occurs on the tenth day of the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. The text specifies that these holidays are lunar-cycle based and shift by approximately 10 to 11 days each year.

In addition to the insertions of these two holidays, the bill maintains the existing structure of state legal holidays and the provisions regarding employee entitlements to paid and unpaid holidays. The inclusion of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha recognizes the cultural and religious significance of these days for the Muslim community in Washington, aligning the state's holiday observances with the diverse practices of its residents.
