A resolution to declare April 24, 2026, as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan.

This bill declares April 24, 2026, as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day in the state of Michigan. It is a commemorative resolution that does not change laws or affect daily operations, but instead formally recognizes the date to honor victims of the 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide. The measure builds on Michigan's existing 2002 recognition of the genocide and aims to promote awareness and remembrance within the state.
