This legislative proposal aims to establish September 11 as a new legal public holiday , officially titled the "September 11 Day of Remembrance." The bill achieves this by amending section 6103(a) of title 5, United States Code , which enumerates existing federal holidays. Specifically, it inserts the new holiday after the entry for Labor Day, ensuring its recognition within federal law. This designation would provide federal employees with a paid day off, fostering a national day of remembrance and reflection for the victims, first responders, and all impacted by the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
