A resolution to declare March 2026 as Women’s History Month in the state of Michigan.
HR 252 is a ceremonial resolution introduced by Rep. Donni Steele to symbolically declare March 2026 as Women’s History Month in Michigan. It does not create new laws, allocate funds, or change existing policies - it simply encourages Michiganders to honor women’s historical achievements and ongoing contributions through reflection and celebration. The resolution cites women’s roles in shaping communities, breaking barriers in various fields, and advancing equality, aligning with the national observance established in 1987. As a non-binding declaration, it directly affects all Michigan residents by providing a formal state-level recognition of Women’s History Month.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted and reorganized to reflect multiple sponsors rather than a single sponsor. The substantive content of the resolution remains unchanged, with the same 'Whereas' clauses and 'Resolved' language declaring March 2026 as Women's History Month in Michigan.
TECHNICAL
Changed the sponsor attribution from a single representative (Rep. Steele) to multiple representatives (Reps. Steele, Breen, Fitzgerald, Fox, Rheingans and Witwer), reflecting the adoption process where additional members joined the sponsorship.
Reorganized the placement of the resolution title and 'Whereas' clauses to align with standard legislative formatting conventions used in the adopted version.
Removed internal markup codes, page numbers, and line numbers that were present in the introduced version but are not part of the final legislative text.
