Restoring Washington's Birthday Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Ogles, Andrew [R-TN-5]

Introduced

Summary

Designates Lincoln's Birthday as a new federal public holiday. This bill would also set Washington's Birthday on a fixed date, February 22, rather than on the third Monday in February. The change updates the federal list of legal public holidays by adding Lincoln's Birthday as a named holiday and by fixing Washington's Birthday to a specific calendar date. Federal agency calendars and federal employee holiday schedules would reflect the new named holiday and the fixed-date adjustment if the bill became law.

New federal holiday dates for employees

Federal offices would observe those named days and may close accordingly. This would mainly affect federal employees' schedules and holiday pay practices, and employers who follow federal holiday observances. The changes would take effect upon enactment.
