HR 471 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Honoring Texas Women's Foundation on the occasion of International Women's Day.

This resolution honors the Texas Women's Foundation on International Women's Day (March 8, 2025) for its 40-year work supporting women and girls across Texas. It recognizes the organization's history, $85 million in investments, and research on economic barriers faced by Texas women, but contains no policy changes or funding. The Texas House of Representatives adopted the resolution to formally commend the foundation and provide it with an official copy as a gesture of respect. This is a symbolic gesture with no legislative effect beyond the ceremonial recognition.
