Patriot Day Act
The Patriot Day Act would add "Patriot Day" to the list of federal holidays in the U.S. Code (specifically, 5 U.S.C. § 6103(a)), requiring federal offices to close on that day. This designation would formally recognize Patriot Day as a national observance, though the bill does not specify its date. The change would affect federal employees and agencies, aligning Patriot Day with other established holidays like Labor Day. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on naming the holiday without altering other policies.
