The Patriot Day Act would establish September 11th as an official federal holiday in the United States. The bill amends federal law to add Patriot Day to the list of recognized federal holidays, placing it in the calendar after Labor Day. This change would affect all federal employees and federal offices, which would observe the day as a paid holiday. The legislation does not specify any funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond the amendment itself. The bill was introduced in September 2023 and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
