This legislative proposal aims to designate Lunar New Year Day as an official Federal holiday in the United States. It seeks to achieve this by amending section 6103(a) of title 5, United States Code, which lists the current Federal holidays. Specifically, the bill would insert "Lunar New Year Day" into the list of holidays, immediately following the Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. This change would grant Federal employees a day off for the observance of Lunar New Year, recognizing its cultural significance.
