California Passes Law for Diwali Recognition
AB 268, co-authored by Ash Kalra and Dr. Darshana Patel, cleared both houses of the California Legislature in September.
The law allows K-12 schools and community colleges to close for Diwali, grants state employee paid leave, and includes a curriculum guide.
California joins Pennsylvania and Connecticut as the third U.S. state to recognize Deepavali.
