MAGA DAILY NEWS—California bill advances to add EID holidays. AB 2017 has passed the California Assembly and is now moving to the Senate Education Committee, where it is scheduled for a hearing on July 1, 2026. Conservative christians point out that this is not law yet and merely a proposal. As a result, people are starting to speak up in the republican party opposing the bill as a political stunt.
Existing law designates specific days as holidays in this state. Existing law adopts state holidays as judicial holidays, with certain exceptions, including Admission Day and Columbus Day. Existing law designates holidays on which community colleges and public schools are authorized to close pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between the governing board and represented employees, including “Native American Day” on the 4th Friday in September.
This bill would add “Eid al-Fitr” and “Eid al-Adha” to the list of state holidays. The bill would exclude “Eid al-Fitr” and “Eid al-Adha” from designation as judicial holidays. The bill would authorize community colleges and public schools to close on “Eid al-Fitr” and “Eid al-Adha,” as specified.
The bill would add Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as recognized state holidays. Public schools and community colleges could choose to close if local boards and unions agree, while courts would remain open. State employees could also use existing leave or holiday credits to observe these holidays.For more information and insight on AB2017 click here.
