September 11 Day of Remembrance Act

This bill would add September 11 to the list of U.S. federal public holidays, by amending Title 5 of the United States Code (section 6103(a)). Specifically, it designates “September 11 Day of Remembrance, September 11” as a legal public holiday, to be inserted after Labor Day in the list of holidays observed by the federal government. In practical terms, this would make September 11 a paid federal holiday for federal employees and would typically require federal offices to close or operate on a reduced schedule on that date, with pay for employees who would otherwise work. The bill does not address private-sector obligations or state/local government actions. It simply codifies the federal holiday status; details about observance, compensation, or handling when September 11 falls on a weekend would follow existing federal holiday practices unless the statute specifies otherwise.
