California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs legislation establishing Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays. The bill, passed by the state legislature, makes California the second U.S. state to officially recognize the two Muslim holidays.
The outlets describe the measure as part of a broader effort to recognize additional religious observances in California. They report that once the law takes effect, public schools are closed on those days and state employees observe the holidays. Fox News also notes the timing of the signing in relation to other legislation related to Jewish holidays, presenting the action as part of a wider package of religious accommodation. Other coverage focuses primarily on the new status of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha and the practical effects for schools and state workers.
