HCR 97 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Designating April 14 as Sikh Day for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 97 designates April 14 as "Sikh Day" in Texas for a 10-year period ending in 2035, recognizing the Sikh community's contributions to the state. The resolution highlights historical and cultural impacts, including Sikh immigrants' roles in agriculture, business, law enforcement, and disaster relief efforts like those during Hurricane Harvey. This symbolic recognition does not create new legal obligations but aims to honor the community's cultural and social contributions. The designation will remain effective until the 10th anniversary of the legislature's final passage of the resolution.
