Patriot Day Act

Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Bill 119 HR 911, also known as the Patriot Day Federal Holiday Act, aims to amend title 5 of the United States Code to designate Patriot Day as a Federal holiday. Patriot Day is currently observed on September 11th each year to honor the memory of those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

If passed, this bill would officially recognize Patriot Day as a Federal holiday, allowing for federal employees to have the day off to commemorate and reflect on the tragic events of 9/11. This holiday would serve as a way to honor the victims, first responders, and all those affected by the attacks, while also promoting unity and patriotism among Americans.

The bill does not specify any additional provisions or requirements for how Patriot Day should be observed, leaving it up to individual states and communities to decide how to commemorate the day. Overall, the Patriot Day Federal Holiday Act seeks to establish a day of remembrance and reflection for the American people, honoring the sacrifices made on September 11th, 2001.
