September 11 Day of Remembrance Act

# September 11 Day of Remembrance Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** HR 5322 would establish September 11th as an official federal day of remembrance for the attacks on the United States in 2001. While September 11th is already widely observed and commemorated across the nation, this bill would give it formal federal recognition, similar to other national observance days. **Who It Affects:** This bill would primarily affect federal recognition and observance practices.

It would likely impact how government agencies mark the day and could influence national commemoration efforts, though it doesn't appear to mandate specific workplace closures or changes to federal holidays. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced for a full vote in the House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Michael Lawler, a Republican from New York.
