Overview: SP 785, "Joint Resolution Recognizing May 18, 2025 As Asian American And Pacific Islander Day Against Bullying And Hate", is a joint resolution that has been passed by the legislature and is awaiting final concurrence.
Purpose and Intent: The main purpose of this joint resolution is to officially designate May 18, 2025 as "Asian American and Pacific Islander Day Against Bullying and Hate" in the state. The intent is to raise awareness of the issue of discrimination and harassment targeting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, and to promote unity, understanding, and respect.
Key Provisions:
- Declares May 18, 2025 as "Asian American and Pacific Islander Day Against Bullying and Hate"
- Encourages schools, businesses, and community organizations to hold events and activities to commemorate the day and address AAPI-targeted bullying and hate
- Directs the governor to issue a proclamation recognizing the day and its significance
Affected Parties and Impacts: This joint resolution would primarily impact AAPI communities by providing official state recognition and support for efforts to combat discrimination and promote inclusion. It could also encourage broader public awareness and engagement on these important issues.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: SP 785 has already passed both legislative chambers and is currently awaiting final concurrence. Once concurred, it will be sent to the governor for signature, at which point the designated day of recognition will be officially established.
