Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act
This bill would add a new federal public holiday to the list of days recognized for federal employees. Specifically, it would designate “Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day, June 14” as a legal public holiday and place it in the list of holidays in Title 5, United States Code (5 U.S.C. § 6103(a)), after Memorial Day. The short title of the bill is the “Trump's Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act.” By adding this holiday, federal agencies would typically observe time off or adjusted work schedules on June 14 each year, just as they do for other federal holidays. The bill was introduced in the House by Rep. Betsy Tenney (as indicated in the provided text) on February 14, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. There is no accompanying companion bill described, and no further legislative action is indicated in the provided text.
