Purpose and intent

HR 96 is a ceremonial resolution that declares the week of May 5–11, 2025, as “Mother’s Week” in the state of Michigan. The resolution recognizes and honors the roles mothers play in families and communities — including caregiving, workforce participation, public service, education, and civic engagement — and encourages Michiganders to celebrate and acknowledge mothers’ contributions and sacrifices.

Key provisions

  • Officially proclaims May 5–11, 2025, as Mother’s Week in Michigan.
  • Expresses legislative recognition of mothers’ leadership, resilience, and contributions to the state’s recovery and growth.
  • Encourages residents of Michigan to honor and celebrate the mothers in their lives.

There are no programmatic mandates, budget appropriations, regulatory changes, or new legal rights created in this resolution.

Who is affected

  • Symbolically: mothers across Michigan and communities that wish to participate in recognition activities.
  • Practically: the resolution has no binding effect on state agencies, employers, or service delivery — it simply encourages public recognition and celebration.

Procedural/timeline notes

  • Introduced and offered in the Michigan House (filed and offered by Rep. Mai Xiong).
  • The record shows the resolution was adopted by the House (adoption and enrollment actions are documented), and copies were to be made available to appropriate parties.
  • As a House resolution, it is a formal, non-binding expression of the legislature’s sentiment rather than a law that requires executive action.

Legal effect and likely impact

  • Ceremonial/resolution only: HR 96 does not allocate funds, create programs, or change state law.
  • Impact is primarily symbolic and celebratory: it may prompt community events, local proclamations, and public awareness activities during the declared week.

If you need, I can produce a one‑page handout or a brief FAQ about how local organizations might build events around Mother’s Week.
