AI Summary

  • Adds Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to Washington State's list of recognized days by amending RCW 1.16.050

  • Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar; Eid al-Adha falls on the tenth day of the twelfth month

  • Both holidays shift by approximately 10-11 days each year due to the lunar-cycle based Islamic calendar

  • These days are designated as recognized days only, not legal holidays—meaning state employees do not receive paid time off for them

  • Places Eid holidays in the same category as other recognized days like Korean-American Day, Cesar Chavez Day, and Lunar New Year
