HR 137 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Diwali.

California Assembly Resolution 137 formally recognizes the Diwali festival scheduled for November 8, 2026, and encourages state residents to participate in the celebration. The resolution highlights the cultural significance of the holiday for Indian Americans and South Asian communities, noting its themes of unity, joy, and the triumph of light over darkness. It also acknowledges that California previously designated Diwali as an official state holiday in 2025. This measure serves as a commemorative statement rather than a law with new regulatory or financial provisions.

What changed between versions

08/13/26 - Introduced HR137 · 2 edits
MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made to HR 137. The diff reflects a transition from a plain-text document format (with line numbers and page headers) to a web page rendering of the same bill on the California Legislature website. A Legislative Counsel's Digest section header was added, but the resolution text itself is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL

A 'LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST' section heading and a one-line digest ('HR 137, as introduced, Patel.') were added to the web version of the bill.

Line numbers, page headers, and page footers present in the original document format were removed in the web rendering.
