Expressing support for designating September 12, 2025, as "The Day of the Bible" in the United States of America.
H.J.Res. 118 is a symbolic resolution proposing that September 12, 2025, be designated as "The Day of the Bible" in the U.S. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups. The resolution asks Congress to express support for the designation and encourages schools, civic groups, and communities to hold educational activities about the Bible's historical role. It also requires the President to issue an annual proclamation for this day, recognizing the 1782 approval of the Aitken Bible as a milestone in American history. The bill is purely ceremonial with no legal obligations.
