This bill aims to modify the list of federal legal public holidays by amending section 6103(a) of title 5, United States Code. It introduces two specific changes to the current holiday schedule. The first key provision is the designation of Lincoln's Birthday as a new legal public holiday, adding it to the existing federal observances. The second significant change involves Washington's Birthday , moving its observance from the current floating date of the third Monday in February to a fixed date of February 22 . These amendments would alter the federal holiday calendar, adding one new holiday and fixing the date of another.
