This legislative proposal aims to designate St. Patrick's Day as an official federal holiday in the United States. Titled the "St. Patrick's Day Act," its primary purpose is to amend existing federal law to incorporate this day into the national calendar of observed holidays. The bill specifically modifies Section 6103(a) of title 5, United States Code , which lists all federal holidays. By inserting "St. Patrick's Day" after Washington's Birthday, the legislation would ensure that federal employees receive a paid day off and federal offices are closed on March 17th annually, consistent with other federal holiday observances.
