Bill 119 HR 1371, also known as the "Presidents' Day Redesignation Act," aims to change the official name of the federal holiday currently known as "Washington's Birthday" to "Presidents' Day." The bill proposes that the third Monday in February, which is currently designated as a day to honor George Washington's birthday, should instead be a day to honor all past presidents of the United States. The bill does not propose any changes to the date of the holiday or its status as a federal holiday. It simply seeks to update the name of the holiday to better reflect its purpose of honoring all presidents, rather than just one specific president. In addition to the name change, the bill does not include any other provisions or changes to existing laws or regulations. It is a straightforward proposal to update the name of the holiday to better align with its intended purpose. Overall, the "Presidents' Day Redesignation Act" is a simple and non-controversial bill that seeks to modernize the name of a federal holiday to more accurately reflect its purpose of honoring all past presidents of the United States.
