Proper Celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Inauguration Day Act

This legislation proposes an amendment to title 5, United States Code, to guarantee that Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Inauguration Day are observed on distinct dates. The bill aims to prevent any overlap between these two important federal holidays, ensuring each receives its proper recognition and celebration. Specifically, the bill mandates that if Inauguration Day is set to occur on the same day as the legal public holiday for the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., then the observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day will be rescheduled. In such a circumstance, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day would be moved to the Tuesday immediately following the third Monday in January , thereby ensuring separate celebrations.
