HR 236 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to declare January 25-31, 2026, as Catholic Schools Week in the state of Michigan.

This resolution declares January 25-31, 2026, as Catholic Schools Week in Michigan. It symbolically recognizes Catholic schools' role in the state, highlighting their enrollment (50,421 students across 207 schools), compliance with public school regulations, and contributions to community values. The resolution does not create new laws, allocate funds, or change policies - it is a ceremonial acknowledgment supporting Catholic schools' educational and community impact.

MINOR

The resolution text was reorganized and reformatted from a House Introduced version to a House Adopted version. The substantive policy content, including the declaration of Catholic Schools Week, the number of students and schools, financial impact figures, and the list of sponsoring representatives (expanded from two to ten), remains unchanged in meaning.

TECHNICAL

The list of sponsoring representatives was expanded from Reps. Schmaltz and Bollin to include eight additional representatives (BeGole, Breen, Fox, Johnsen, Kelly, Pavlov, Rigas, and Witwer).

The document structure was reorganized with the title and introductory text moved to the top, followed by the resolution clauses in a different order than the original introduction, and internal page markers and metadata removed.

Minor formatting adjustments were made, including changes to line breaks and the use of question marks around quoted text in the adopted version compared to the introduced version.
