ACR 61 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Filicide Awareness Week.

ACR 61 designates April 9-15, 2025, as Filicide Awareness Week through a formal proclamation. This resolution does not create new laws or affect specific groups; it simply establishes a designated week for public awareness. The key mechanism is the official naming of the dates by the legislature to encourage community education about filicide (the killing of a child by a parent or caregiver). The bill has no policy changes or funding provisions, serving solely as a commemorative measure.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to ACR 61 (Filicide Awareness Week). The diff reflects a change in presentation format only: the bill text moved from a clean chaptered document layout to a web page rendering that includes website navigation elements, search tools, and metadata sections. The actual resolution content - proclaiming April 9-15, 2025 as Filicide Awareness Week, supporting Pierce's Pledge, and encouraging family law attorneys to take the pledge - is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a chaptered document layout into a web page display that includes navigation menus (home, FAQ, sitemap, login), a quick search box, bill information metadata (version history, status links), and share/track options. The underlying resolution language is unchanged.
