Diwali Day Act
HR 3336, the Diwali Day Act, would add "Diwali Day" to the list of federal holidays recognized in Title 5 of the U.S. Code, specifically placing it after Columbus Day. This bill does not create new government programs or change existing laws; it solely recognizes Diwali as a day for federal employees to observe. The bill's "sense of Congress" section describes Diwali as a significant cultural celebration for millions of Americans across multiple religious communities. As a procedural measure, it directly affects federal government operations by adding a recognized holiday for federal employees.
