St. Patrick’s Day Act

HR 2119, the "St. Patrick’s Day Act," is a procedural bill that adds "St. Patrick’s Day" to the list of official federal holidays under U.S. law. It directly affects federal employees by designating March 17 as a recognized holiday for federal offices and operations. The bill makes a technical amendment to the existing federal holiday schedule in 5 U.S. Code § 6103(a), inserting "St. Patrick’s Day" after Washington’s Birthday. This change does not alter holiday pay, benefits, or other policies - it simply adds the date to the official calendar. The bill has no substantive policy impact beyond administrative naming.
