Adds a paid holiday that benefits federal employees' time off and morale while imposing modest taxpayer costs and a one-day annual pause or delay in federal services.
Federal civilian employees (who staff federal agencies) would gain an additional paid federal holiday (Easter Monday), increasing paid time off and likely improving morale and work–life balance for those workers.
Taxpayers and people who need federal services could face modest additional public cost (one more paid day off) and annual interruption or delays in government services on that weekday each year.
