Easter Monday Act of 2025

# Easter Monday Act of 2025 - Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Easter Monday Act of 2025 would make Easter Monday (the day after Easter Sunday) an official federal holiday in the United States. If passed, this would mean that federal government offices would close on that day, and federal employees would receive paid time off, similar to other federal holidays like Thanksgiving or Independence Day. **Who It Affects** This bill would directly affect federal employees and federal government operations. It could also have broader effects on businesses and the private sector, as some employers typically follow federal holiday schedules.

Easter Monday's date changes each year since Easter is based on a lunar calendar, so the holiday would fall on different dates annually (ranging from late March to late April). **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative Riley Moore, a Republican from West Virginia's 2nd District.
