Planning News

About this section

Date-driven news that affects planning at home and at work: government funding deadlines, new laws, product recalls, drug take-back days, weather outlooks, travel peaks, season openers and lottery drawings, and the schedules of major events people plan around. Each story states the date, the rule or notice that sets it, what happens when the date falls on a weekend or holiday, and the official source it comes from. Pieces link to the fiscal-year guide and the yearly printable calendar so readers can copy the dates onto a full-year plan and see them next to holidays and school breaks.
