Easter Monday Act of 2025

# Easter Monday Act of 2025 - Summary The Easter Monday Act of 2025 is a proposed federal bill that would establish Easter Monday as a federal holiday in the United States. If passed, this would mean that federal government offices, courts, and most federal employees would have the day off following Easter Sunday each year. The bill is sponsored by Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The bill would primarily affect federal employees, who would receive a paid holiday, and federal operations, which would be suspended or reduced on that day.

It could also have indirect effects on businesses and services that coordinate with federal schedules. Currently, the U.S. has 11 permanent federal holidays (such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day), and Easter Monday would be added as the 12th if approved. **Current Status:** The bill remains in committee and has not advanced to a full Senate vote at this time.
