Lunar New Year Day Act

This bill adds Lunar New Year Day to the official list of federal holidays in U.S. law. It does this by amending the section of the U.S. Code that lists federal holidays, placing “Lunar New Year Day” in that list. The Library of Congress summary states simply that it establishes Lunar New Year Day as a federal holiday.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People and agencies that follow the federal holiday calendar.
• What changes: “Lunar New Year Day” is added as a federal holiday in the U.S. Code.
• When: The bill recognizes Lunar New Year Day, but the text does not set a specific date; it adds the holiday name to the federal list.
