SCR 111 Idaho Senate · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES MONTH – States findings of the Legislature and recognizes Mother’s Day through Father’s Day as Traditional Family Values Month to raise awareness about the challenges facing traditional families and the alarming rate at which the traditional American family is declining.

Idaho's SCR 111 is a symbolic resolution designating the period between Mother's Day and Father's Day as "Traditional Family Values Month." It recognizes families defined as consisting of a natural mother, father, children, and extended family, and outlines specific weeks within the month to celebrate motherhood, fatherhood, grandparents, and other family roles. The resolution does not create new laws or affect individuals directly; it is purely a statement of legislative recognition. It cites statistics about declining traditional family structures but focuses on raising awareness rather than implementing policy changes.
