Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 5, United States Code, to establish Patriot Day as a Federal holiday.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to amend title 5 of the United States Code to establish Patriot Day as a new federal holiday. Specifically, the bill would modify Section 6103(a) of title 5 by adding "Patriot Day" to the list of official federal holidays, positioning it immediately after Labor Day. While the bill does not specify the exact date or provide detailed provisions about how the holiday would be observed, Patriot Day is traditionally commemorated on September 11th to honor the victims and first responders of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. The bill is relatively straightforward, focusing solely on the legal recognition of Patriot Day as a federal holiday, which would likely mean federal government offices would be closed and federal employees would have the day off, similar to other established federal holidays.
