Relates to the designation of Good Friday as a public holiday
This bill designates Good Friday (the Friday before Easter) as a public holiday for state government offices and schools. It amends the General Construction Law to add Good Friday to the official list of public holidays and modifies the Education Law to require all public schools to close on Good Friday. The bill also mandates that school calendars replace "Spring Recess" with "Good Friday" and ensures school day calculations account for this holiday without reducing instructional time. The change applies to all public school districts in the state, effective January 1 following enactment.
