Bill > HR5322

This bill proposes to amend title 5 of the United States Code to officially designate September 11 as a legal public holiday, known as the "September 11 Day of Remembrance". By adding this date to the list of federal holidays in section 6103(a), the bill would recognize September 11 as a day of national commemoration and provide federal employees with a paid day off. This designation is intended to honor the victims, first responders, and survivors of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, which resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths and profoundly impacted the United States. The bill is relatively straightforward, focusing solely on establishing the date as an official holiday without additional complex provisions, and would ensure that the national memory of this tragic day is formally preserved through an annual day of remembrance.
