SR 37 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to 2025 Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Week.

Senate Resolution 37 designates April 17-23, 2025, as "Cambodian Genocide Memorial Week" in California. The resolution symbolically honors victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide (1975-1979), which killed over 1.7 million Cambodians, and recognizes the contributions of Cambodian refugees and communities in California. It calls on all Californians to observe the week through appropriate activities but does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements. The resolution directly affects Californians by encouraging public remembrance of this historical event, particularly acknowledging California's large Cambodian population and Long Beach’s status as the largest Cambodian community outside Southeast Asia.
