This legislative proposal aims to designate Easter Monday as a new legal public holiday in the United States. It seeks to amend Section 6103(a) of title 5, United States Code, which enumerates existing federal holidays. The bill defines Easter Monday as the first Monday following Easter Sunday, which is calculated based on the first Sunday after the full Moon on or after the spring equinox. If enacted, this measure would grant federal employees an additional paid day off, expanding the list of recognized federal observances.
