Eid al-Fitr Day Amendment Act of 2024

The Eid al-Fitr Day Amendment Act of 2024 designates Eid al-Fitr as an official legal holiday in the District of Columbia. This change directly affects government employees and the general public by adding the first day of Shawwal, which follows the Islamic lunar month of Ramadan, to the list of recognized holidays. The bill achieves this by amending existing personnel laws and the official code to include the new observance alongside other established holidays like Memorial Day. Once enacted, the holiday will be observed annually according to the Islamic calendar without altering the fiscal responsibilities of the district.
