Recognizing Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Hanukkah.

Summary

The bill revises Washington’s list of legal holidays to formally recognize three Jewish holidays, though they are not paid holidays. It also gives state and local government workers two unpaid days off each year for religious observance, with employer approval unless it creates undue hardship. The changes aim to broaden religious inclusion for public‑sector employees.
