Bill Summary
A BILL To amend section 6103 of title 5, United States Code, to establish Rosa Parks Day as a Federal holiday, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish Rosa Parks Day as a new federal holiday by amending section 6103 of title 5 of the United States Code, which lists federal legal public holidays. Specifically, the bill would insert "Rosa Parks Day" into the list of holidays following Thanksgiving Day. Rosa Parks was a pivotal civil rights activist known for her historic act of refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955, which became a landmark moment in the American civil rights movement. By creating a federal holiday in her name, the bill aims to officially recognize Parks' significant contribution to racial equality and social justice in the United States. The bill is relatively brief, consisting of a short title section and a single substantive section that makes the technical amendment to add Rosa Parks Day to the list of federal holidays.
