Workers’ Memorial Day

# Workers' Memorial Day Bill Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 3046 would make Workers' Memorial Day a federal holiday in the United States. Currently, Workers' Memorial Day (April 28) is observed by labor organizations and some workers to honor and remember those who have been killed, injured, or sickened by workplace conditions. Making it a federal holiday would give it official government recognition similar to other federal holidays like Independence Day or Labor Day. **Who It Affects and Key Details** This legislation would primarily affect federal employees, who would receive the day off as a paid holiday.

Private sector employers would not be legally required to observe it, though some may choose to do so. The bill has been introduced by Representative Donald Norcross (D-NJ) but remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is still in the committee review stage and has not advanced further in the legislative process.
