Recognizing Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas.

Summary

The bill amends Washington’s holiday code to formally recognize Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas (along with many other cultural days) as recognized dates, though not paid legal holidays. It also sets employee holiday rules, giving state workers one paid holiday of their choice and two unpaid holidays for religious observance, with employer‑defined guidelines. The changes affect state employees, local governments, school districts, and public colleges.
