House Resolution No. 178.
A resolution to declare September 20–27, 2025, as
Michigan Trails Week in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Michigan is home to one of the nation’s most
extensive and diverse trail systems, encompassing more than 13,000 miles of
state-designated trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling,
of-road vehicles, and water routes; and
Whereas, Trails contribute significantly to Michigan’s
economy by promoting tourism, supporting local businesses, and encouraging
outdoor recreation that attracts millions of residents and visitors each year;
and
Whereas, Michigan’s trail system enhances the health and
well-being of our residents by providing safe, accessible opportunities for
exercise, nature appreciation, and stress reduction, while also fostering
family-friendly and intergenerational outdoor activities; and
Whereas, Trails play a vital role in environmental
conservation by connecting communities to forests, lakes, rivers, and natural
resources while promoting stewardship and awareness of Michigan’s rich natural
heritage; and
Whereas, Michigan Trails Week is a time to celebrate the
progress made in expanding and maintaining our trail network, to recognize the eforts of volunteers, nonprofit organizations, and
governmental agencies, and to encourage greater public participation in outdoor
recreation; and
Whereas, During Michigan Trails Week, residents and
visitors are encouraged to explore, enjoy, and help maintain the state’s trail
system, whether through recreational use, volunteer service, or advocacy for
continued investment in these community assets; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the
members of this legislative body declare September 20–27, 2025, as
Michigan Trails Week in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted
to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Trails and

offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 179.
Whereas, Each year from September 15 to October 15,
Hispanic and Latino Americans in North America and the United States of America
celebrate the anniversary of independence for Chile, Costa Rica,
El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua; and
Whereas, This observation began in 1968 as Hispanic
Heritage Week, which was approved by President Lyndon Johnson, and, in
1988, Hispanic Heritage Week was later expanded by
President Ronald Reagan to encompass a 30-day period from the dates
September 15 through October 15, and Hispanic Heritage Month was enacted into
law on August 17, 1988, as Public Law 100-402; and
Whereas, Each year from September 15 to October 15,
Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the
histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors
came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America; and
Whereas, The citizens of the United States annually
recognize National Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrate the histories,
cultures, and contributions of our citizens whose ancestors are from throughout
Latin America and Spain; and
Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Month is the period of time in
the United States when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and
Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate their varied heritage,
background, and culture; and
Whereas, During this month, Michigan’s Hispanic-American
community celebrates through a series of special events featuring Hispanic
history, food, dance, and art; and
Whereas, Hispanic Americans have consistently helped make
our country strong and prosperous and embody the best of our American values,
including commitment to faith, family, and country; and
Whereas, Hispanic Americans have made many important
advances in areas of law, religion, agriculture, art, music, education,
technology, architecture, cuisine, theater, and exploration; and
Whereas, Michigan is fortunate to count among its
population a large number of residents of Spanish and Latin American descent,
who grow businesses, offer innovative ideas, strengthen our economy, create
jobs, and positively contribute to our daily lives; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That members of
this legislative body declare September 15-October 15, 2025, as Hispanic
Heritage Month in the state of Michigan.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
