Abstract	The present report of the RF2 Topical Group to Snowmass 2021 describes the physics case for the studies of weak decays of strange and light quarks. Ongoing and proposed precision measurements of kaon, hyperon, pion and $\eta^{(\prime)}$ meson decays allow for unique tests of the Standard Model (SM). This includes precision measurements of the elements of the CKM quark-mixing matrix leading to stringent unitarity tests; precision symmetry tests including lepton flavor and lepton number conservation; and precision lepton flavor universality tests. In the context of models beyond the SM description, strange and light quark decay experiments provide sensitivity to new physics up to the PeV mass scale, as well as leading sensitivities to scenarios involving feebly interacting hidden sectors below the GeV mass scale.
