Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The bill amends 5 U.S.C. §6103(a) to add "Patriot Day" to the list of Federal holidays, inserting it after the item for Labor Day. The text provided is short and only changes the statutory holiday list; it does not specify a date or implementation details.
Liberals emphasize remembrance and support for survivors; conservatives emphasize cost and precedent.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill cleanly and narrowly specifies a statutory amendment to add a named federal holiday but provides minimal implementation, fiscal, or operational detail.
