HR 1371 United States House · 119th Congress

Presidential Legacy Act

This bill renames the federal holiday observed on the third Monday in February from "Washington's Birthday" to "Presidents' Day" and updates all federal references to replace "Washington's Birthday" with "Presidents' Day" in laws, regulations, and official documents. It directly affects federal agencies, government records, and any laws containing the term "Washington's Birthday" by requiring the new name to be used moving forward. The key mechanism is a simple terminology update across federal statutes, with specific conforming changes made to Title 4 of the U.S. Code and the Federal Contested Election Act. This is a procedural change with no new policies or financial impacts.
