A 590 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes State employees to take administrative leave days in observance of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha; requires school districts to permit students excused absences for observance of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

New Jersey's A590 bill grants state employees an additional day of administrative leave per year for Eid al-Fitr and an additional day for Eid al-Adha, separate from their standard leave allotment. It requires public school districts to record absences for these holidays as excused, ensuring students face no academic penalties, such as missing awards or tests. The law also mandates that such absences not appear on transcripts or affect eligibility, provided a parent or guardian submits a written excuse.
