Overview: SB 1718, titled "USE/OCC TAX-SCHOOL HOLIDAY", is currently in the Rule 3-9(a) / Re-referred to Assignments stage. It was introduced on February 27, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to establish a school holiday on the first Monday of October, which would be known as "School Holiday". The bill aims to provide students, teachers, and school staff with a much-needed break during the academic year.
Key Provisions:
- Designates the first Monday of October as a school holiday, to be known as "School Holiday"
- Requires all public and private schools to be closed on this day
- Exempts the school holiday from being counted as one of the required school days for the academic year
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would directly affect students, teachers, and school staff across the state, providing them with a day off to rest and recharge. It may also have indirect impacts on families and communities, as the school holiday could disrupt regular schedules and routines.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill is currently in the Rule 3-9(a) / Re-referred to Assignments stage, which means it has been returned to the Assignments committee for further consideration. The next steps would be for the committee to review the bill and potentially schedule it for a vote in the legislature.
