Bill > HR3046

This bill proposes to establish Workers' Memorial Day as a new federal holiday by amending title 5 of the United States Code, which governs federal employee regulations. Specifically, the bill would add "Workers' Memorial Day" to the list of official federal holidays in section 6103(a), which currently enumerates days like Washington's Birthday. By creating this new holiday, the legislation aims to recognize and honor workers who have been injured, become ill, or died as a result of workplace conditions or work-related incidents. While the bill does not specify an exact date for the memorial day, its inclusion in the federal holiday roster would likely mean federal employees would receive a paid day off and serve as a reminder of the importance of workplace safety and the sacrifices made by workers across the United States.
