In 1994, Congress unanimously passed “The Parents’ Day Resolution” establishing the fourth Sunday of July as a perennial day of commemoration.
Bipartisan legislation to establish Parents’ Day was filed in the House in August 1994 by Rep. Dan Burton, Indiana Republican, and Rep. Floyd H. Flake, New York Democrat, and 16 other original cosponsors.
The measure, which eventually had 223 cosponsors, passed the House on Sept. 30 and passed the Senate on Oct. 4. President Bill Clinton signed the measure — now Public Law No:103-362 — on Oct. 14, 1994.
Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) chaired the meeting in which Mother Moon called for a new national holiday called Parents' Day.
