AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
Utah's list of official legal holidays gains a new addition under this bill — Good Friday, the Friday before Easter Sunday — while Easter Sunday itself is retained as a legal holiday. The bill also requires public school districts, charter schools, and higher education institutions to prioritize, where possible, scheduling school breaks to align with state-recognized holy days starting in the 2027-28 school year; those holy days include Holi, Lunar New Year, Eid al-Fitr, Passover, Vesak Day, Eid al-Adha, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Diwali, and Christmas, in addition to Good Friday and Easter. State and local government entities are also required to treat employee requests for personal leave on any of these holy days as a high priority for approval.
