House Bill 1617

Source

Section 1

In 2021, the state enacted House Bill No. 1016 to declare Juneteenth a state legal holiday. The legislature finds that there is ambiguity about whether Juneteenth is also a school holiday as a result of that act. The legislature intends to clarify that Juneteenth, like all other state legal holidays, is a school holiday on which school may not be taught.

Section 2

This section modifies existing section 28A.150.050. Here is the modified chapter for context.

  1. All of the state legal holidays set forth in RCW 1.16.050(1) are also school holidays and school may not be taught on these days

.

  1. No reduction from a teacher's time or salary may be made by reason of the fact that a school day happens to be one of the days referred to in this section as a day on which school is not taught.
