HB 363 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act providing for the annual designations and holiday observances of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in this Commonwealth.

HB 363 designates Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha as official observances within the Commonwealth. The bill requires state agencies to recognize these dates annually for purposes of ceremonial observance, such as public acknowledgments or non-binding acknowledgments in government communications. It directly affects state government operations by mandating this recognition but does not create new legal holidays or alter work schedules. The bill is procedural in nature, focusing solely on formal acknowledgment of these religious observances.
