To amend section 6103 of title 5, United States Code, to change the date designated for Washington's Birthday and designate Lincoln's Birthday as a legal public holiday.

# Bill Summary: HR 7663 ## What the Bill Would Do This bill proposes two changes to federal holidays: it would move the observance of Washington's Birthday to a different date and create a new federal holiday for Lincoln's Birthday. Currently, "Washington's Birthday" is observed on the third Monday in February (Presidents' Day), while Lincoln's Birthday (February 12) is not a federal holiday. If passed, this bill would alter that arrangement, though the specific new date for Washington's Birthday is not detailed in the summary provided. ## Who It Affects The bill would primarily affect federal employees, who would gain a holiday, and federal contractors and government offices that observe federal holidays.

It could also impact businesses and schools that follow the federal holiday calendar. The general public might see changes in when certain government services operate or when some private businesses close. ## Current Status HR 7663 is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives. The bill was sponsored by Representative Andrew Ogles (R-TN).
