H.R. 1371 — Presidential Legacy Act

This section establishes the short title of the Act as the “Presidential Legacy Act.”

This section revises the name of the Federal holiday on the third Monday in February under 5 U.S.C. § 6103(a) by striking “Washington’s Birthday” and inserting “Presidents’ Day.” (Thus, the holiday would be referred to in statute as Presidents’ Day rather than Washington’s Birthday.)

This section revises the Federal Contested Election Act’s definition of “legal holiday” under 2 U.S.C. § 394(a) by replacing “Washington’s Birthday” with “Presidents’ Day.” (Thus, the statute’s time-computation rules continue to exclude Presidents’ Day, rather than Washington’s Birthday, when calculating filing and response deadlines.)
