HOUSE RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF JUNE 2026 AS "PRIDE MONTH" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND
This House Resolution officially designates June 2026 as "Pride Month" in Rhode Island to honor the history and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community. The bill does not create new laws or change existing policies but instead serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize the state's anti-discrimination protections and the significance of the annual PrideFest celebration. By directing the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Rhode Island Pride, the measure formally acknowledges the cultural importance of the month's events.
