What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill adds September 11 to the list of special observance days that apply to

general school operations. Current law provides a list of 21 special observance days,

including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day; Susan B. Anthony's birthday;

Environmental Awareness Day; Bullying Awareness Day; and Veterans Day. Under

current law, a special observance day must be appropriately observed when school

is held on that day or, if the day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, on the school day

immediately preceding or following the special observance day. The bill specifies

that September 11 is a day to remember the attacks that occurred on September 11,

2001, and to honor law enforcement officers and fire fighters.
