Summary — HR 125: Declaration of National Flag Week (Michigan)

Status: Adopted
Bill type: House Resolution (ceremonial)
Bill number: HR 125
Primary purpose: Declare June 8–14, 2025, as National Flag Week in the state of Michigan and encourage observance by Michigan residents and communities.

Purpose and intent

The resolution recognizes the historical significance of the U.S. flag (first authorized June 14, 1777) and designates the week of June 8–14, 2025, as National Flag Week in Michigan. It encourages communities, schools, public bodies, and citizens to observe the week with programs, ceremonies, and the prominent display of the American flag to promote civic education, national pride, and recognition of service members, veterans, and public servants.

Key provisions

  • Officially declares June 8–14, 2025, as National Flag Week in the state of Michigan.
  • Recites supporting history and symbolism (e.g., colors of the flag and Flag Day’s origin).
  • Encourages residents and organizations to:
    • Display the American flag at homes, schools, workplaces;
    • Conduct programs and ceremonies to honor the flag and those who serve the nation;
    • Use the observance to promote civic education and understanding of founding principles.

Who is affected / impact

  • Direct legal effect: none. This is a non-binding, ceremonial resolution with no regulatory, budgetary, or enforcement provisions.
  • Practical/community impact: provides an official state endorsement to encourage local flag-related events, education activities in schools, veteran recognition ceremonies, and civic participation during the designated week.
  • State agencies and local governments may choose to organize or support related events but are not required to do so.

Procedural timeline and sponsors

  • Multiple legislative entries in the bill record show readings, placement on calendars, and adoption at various dates in 2025. The adopted resolution text is credited to Representative Douglas Wozniak (introduced) and, in the adopted version, offered by Reps. Wozniak, Alexander, Fox, Lightner, Paiz, and Schuette.
  • The top-level Bill Information also lists the bill as “introduced: August 28, 2025” and shows primary sponsors Andy Biggs, Debbie Buckner, Theresa Mah, and Paula Davis — however, these entries appear inconsistent with the adopted Michigan resolution text and the other procedural dates in 2025.

Notes / Discrepancies

The provided document contains text and procedural records from multiple resolutions and jurisdictions (several different HR 125 texts and sponsor lists). The substantive portion summarized above reflects the Michigan House Resolution that declares June 8–14, 2025 as National Flag Week. Other entries in the file appear to be unrelated ceremonial resolutions from other states or earlier drafts.
