California poised to recognize Eid holidays, enabling school closures and paid leave

A California Assembly bill would formally recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in state law, allowing public schools to close for the holidays and enabling state workers to use paid holiday credits to observe them; after clearing the Assembly 64-1, the measure heads to the Senate and then Gov. Newsom, with supporters saying it promotes religious equality and observers noting concerns about school exercises and curriculum guidance.
