HCR 85 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating March 15 as the Day to Combat Islamophobia for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 85 is a symbolic concurrent resolution designating March 15 as "Day to Combat Islamophobia" in Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the need to address Islamophobia through annual observance. The resolution cites incidents like the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks, a 2017 Victoria mosque arson, and a 2024 hate crime in Euless to emphasize the importance of promoting interfaith understanding. It serves as a non-binding statement of legislative commitment to combating religious discrimination.
