Bill > HR2951

This bill proposes to amend title 5 of the United States Code to officially designate Easter Monday as a legal public holiday. Currently, the U.S. federal code lists several official holidays, and this bill would add Easter Monday to that list, placing it in the code immediately after Washington's Birthday. By becoming a legal public holiday, Easter Monday would receive the same federal recognition as other established holidays, which typically means federal government offices would be closed, and federal employees would receive a paid day off. This designation would provide formal acknowledgment of the day, which follows Easter Sunday and is traditionally celebrated in many countries, though it is not currently a federal holiday in the United States. The bill is straightforward in its approach, simply inserting the words "Easter Monday" into the existing list of legal public holidays.
