A Resolution designating April 24, 2025, as "Pennsylvania's Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923."

This is a commemorative resolution, not a bill with binding effects.

The resolution aims to promote awareness of this genocide and its significance in preventing future atrocities, as stated in the "WHEREAS" clauses. It does not create new laws or policies, but serves as a symbolic recognition by the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
