This bill would establish September 11 as a federal legal public holiday called "September 11 Day of Remembrance." The legislation amends federal law to add this new holiday to the official list of federal holidays, placing it after Labor Day in the calendar year. The bill would affect all federal employees and federal offices, which would be closed on September 11 each year in observance of the holiday. There is no specific funding or implementation timeline mentioned in the legislation; it would simply modify the existing federal holiday statute to recognize this commemorative date. The bill was introduced in September 2025 by a bipartisan group of House representatives and was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for consideration.
