Bill > S1426

This bill proposes to amend title 5 of the United States Code to officially designate Easter Monday as a legal public holiday. Specifically, the bill defines Easter Monday as the first Monday following Easter Sunday, which is astronomically determined by the first full moon after the spring equinox. By adding Easter Monday to the list of federal holidays in section 6103(a), government employees would receive a paid day off and federal offices would be closed on this day. This would provide federal workers with an additional holiday that recognizes the day after the Christian holiday of Easter, which is already widely celebrated in many predominantly Christian countries but has not previously been a federal holiday in the United States. The bill's short title is the "Easter Monday Act of 2025", indicating the intended year of implementation.
