HB 1471 proposes to amend Section 662.003(c) of the Government Code to include Diwali and Dashain as optional holidays. This would allow state employees to select one day from each of these festivals as an optional holiday, joining existing provisions for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Good Friday. The amendment acknowledges cultural diversity and expands the recognition of significant festivals celebrated by various communities within Texas.
