An Act providing for the annual designation and holiday observance of the first day of the Islamic lunar month of Shawwal as Eid al-Fitr Day in this Commonwealth.
Pennsylvania would officially recognize the first day of the Islamic lunar month of Shawwal as Eid al-Fitr Day annually. This designation applies to all Pennsylvanians celebrating the holiday, which marks the end of Ramadan and includes prayer, charity, and community gatherings. The bill clarifies that this recognition does not require employers to grant paid leave or treat the day as a legal holiday. It takes effect immediately upon enactment, focusing on symbolic acknowledgment without imposing new obligations on businesses or government.
